Friday morning, I started the day laughing because of messages from friends. Yep, I was quite cheerful! Then...dah dun dun dah, the power went out AGAIN! No warning AGAIN! So running around to get a generator to keep my Moms oxygen machine going!
To say I turn the air blue on such occasions, is putting it mildly! Hmmm, no wonder my favourite colour is blue! 
Of course I have to conserve battery power on all gadgets, so no being online time. Ugh.
Once again, looking for an upside here, and well, it is another sunny day, that is always good, right? And book time! I had a valid excuse to be able to read! So, Yeah, upsides!
Oh! And by tonight I should be able to still have my date with two crazy brothers (Hank and Evan "Royal Pains") and some snacks! 
It is now Friday afternoon and all is up and running, so yippee! What are your plans for Friday? Or what did you do on Friday? I hope every one had or will have a fabulous Friday! Photo is of the glorious blue sky outside right now!

I am so sorry about this and your Moms Oxygen as well with these power outages..it has got to be so stressful
But good it is back on thank goodness Catherine.
Good to see you here my lovely friend.
It is okay here so far..I may get 1/2 hour to myself which would be good because I can clean.
It is very hot here today again.

Yup we have blue skies starting off our Friday but we had a major storm last night and the power kept flicking on and off. Thankfully it came back on and stayed on.
Royal Pains was one of my favorite shows and I was so sorry when it was over.
So far no exciting plans for this Friday but reading is on my agenda

@Marilynda1225 , sorry you also had power issues. I am catching the reruns of Royal Pains because I missed it first time round and I am loving it. I hope you enjoy your book and that you have a good day further. :)

It's sunny here too. I got the mail, I'm washing clothes, I'm going to listen to three more parts of my book, and maybe watch HBO and Showtime (they are free this weekend).

Dating two brothers? Is one man not enough for you then?
It's Saturday now here and we've had plenty rain. No upsides yet, butt I am more interested in backsides, of the curvy variety.

@bluesa I do like a bit of spice in my life 
No ifs, no butts. If I'd had a water butt I could have collected plenty of it over the weekend. However, I haven't so I didn't.
Have got a butt worthy of discussion?

Oh, hello there @Orson_Kart .
They do say that variety is the spice of life
Sorry it is all soggy by you. And the no upsides, tut, tut. Butt and backsides huh. That could be the butt of many jokes, truly.

@Orson_Kart , you have a butt worthy of discussion? That's good to know! Been cycling then? I think my butt is fine, not certain it is worthy of discussion

Wow! Power outages are really the pits, especially when you have something that MUST be kept running! I am glad you found some upsides to your day! (I hope your 'date' went well, too! 
)
I was off work today but all I did was sleep. Enough so that I am awake now since I got too much sleep earlier. LOL! I am almost done with the sinus infection, so will stop sleeping so much, I hope!

@bluesa How have you been doing, otherwise? It sounds like you are staying very busy!
Thank you! I am feeling much better now!
Yeah, the sleep patterns are as stable as they have ever been. I just live with it... *shrug!*
I need to get off myLot now. I try to take a nap before I need to get up for work. LOL! (Sometimes that doesn't happen, but I still try!)

@DaddyEvil , there have been some crazy times. So much happened. And yes, there is a lot keeping me busy.
I am happy you're feeling better. And sleep patterns are as best as they can be at the moment.
I hope you did get to have that nap, DE. And I wish you a wonderful rest of the weekend.

Hi, DE! It really does add to the stress of keeping the must run running. Oh Yeah, my date with Royal Pains was a success .
I hope your sinus infection will clear soonest and you can stabilize your sleep patterns. Have a good weekend.
