Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 75 degrees, cloudy, and humid here at the Jersey Shore. Today it is supposed to get up to 90 but with clouds and a storm. I don't think it is going to be a pool day. That's okay. My skin needs a break. Speaking of storms last night's must have been a doozy. I did see the fireworks show in NYC and then headed to bed around 9:30. That's when the rain started and crazy wind started whipping up. I mean it sounded like we were in the middle of a bad hurricane. I wasn't feeling great so I fell asleep soon after that. I woke up at 2am and was confused. The hallway light was off but I always sleep with it on. I figured that the bulb had burned out. I went into the bathroom to turn that light on and nothing. That was when I realized the power was out. I just laid there tossing and turning and listening for it to kick on again. That happened around 5. We very occasionally lose power for a few minutes or so. An extended outage like that is unusual for this complex. I fell back asleep then until about 8. I'm up. . . for now anyway. I'm going to catch up on the news and InternetLand. I have some cooking to do. I also want to make these no-bake almond butter bars that I had while on my spa vacation. I asked one of the chefs for the recipe and she was happy to share it with me. I also need to deal with some laundry and scoop the litter boxes. What's everyone else up to today?

Since the power still isn’t back on I’m definitely going to church today. I didn’t sleep well at my dad’s, but the church has power, which means they have air conditioning. I’m definitely going where the air conditioning is. Plus, I’ll be able to charge my phone. Nothing the Lord likes better than supplying cold air and phone access.

It's 23°C and generally cloudy. I might get dressed and attempt mowing the jungle.

That was a pretty wicked storm you had. Ours was in the morning. The almond butter bars sound like they might be yummy.

We had a storm last night that knocked us from mid-80s to mid-60s. I'm glad your power came back on. When the power flickers here, our fish tank turns off and they have trouble breathing. If I'm asleep, my CPAP machine also turns off and I wake up gasping for air.

I'll be making a banana and walnut loaf cake shortly. I need to use up some over-ripe bananas.
