I hope you all had a nice Hump Day today! We are half way through the week, so your weekend will be coming at ya, in two more days! And a new month starts tomorrow, hello May!
I had a day to myself today, as my husband drove a friend to the hospital in Baton Rouge today for outpatient surgery. The surgery ended up lasting for almost 3 hours! But, the friend did fine and was released to come home around 3 pm. Man they don't keep you in the hospital for much anymore after surgery. That to me, is scary!
I wanted to work in the garden today. That was my plan and it was beautiful today also. We had a nice pleasant breeze that made it feel like a true Spring day. My husband asked me to stay inside today since he was gone. We have two criminals on the loose that shot 2 nurses yesterday. As of last night they still had not been found and I didn't see anything on the subject in the news today. So I played it safe and stayed inside except for feeding the animals.
I enjoyed the quiet time and also getting some things done without interruptions. How was your Hump Day? Did you do anything special or was a just another routine day?

I would have asked Pretty to stay inside if we lived in the country and criminals were on the loose in our area, too. I can't blame your hubby for that!
Today wasn't too bad... Pretty went out to the garage and brought in a plastic tub of blankets and quilts since we didn't know how long the power was going to be out and I got cold last night. (It dropped to 55F in the house with all the storms and constant rain.)
Yesterday was the fun day here... Around 9 am, the tornado sirens started going off so we stepped out on out porch to see if we could glimpse a tornado but no such luck... The tornado went through a valley between our city and a little town about six miles from us and tore the heck out of the power lines and telephone poles.
I was still standing on the front porch when HARD winds whipped through going North here for several minutes and then stopped. A minute or two later, wind and rain started blasting from the North, going South! I was just coming back inside when the second wind hit and ripped the storm door out of my hand and knocked me down... I crawled over and pulled until the door came closed behind me. During both those winds, I couldn't see the restaurant directly across the street... Not even the light they keep burning at their back door. Everything outside just looked grey...
I hope you have a good evening/night.

I had already decided that I was going to stay inside. No use taking chances and if something did happen nobody near enough to hear me scream.
I'm glad that tornado missed ya'll. And glad you were able to get back inside without getting hurt. Did your power come back on today?

@DaddyEvil Happy to hear that your power came back on and you didn't have to go all night without heat? Or are ya'll out of that next of woods?

@kareng The power came back on late last night. Thanks, I crawled to the door and pulled it closed behind me.
I just came online long enough to write a discussion about it and then went to sleep... I was exhausted.

My day was OK, good and bad yin and yang. Nothing special although I did get a 20.00 bonus this AM. I'll take it!
