By the time the storm hit us, it was barely enough rain to wet the street. Lot of wind though. Afterwards the humidity was still quite high, but during the evening the wind cooled things off quite nicely and we were able to sleep last night.
Our trip to the lake was an exhausting one. Each decision turned out to be a source of conflict, and that was a huge source of emotional fatigue. There was the work to be done, including replacing one of the exterior panels on our building. David hadn't been planning to do that, so hadn't worn his really grubby clothes. At least it was on the rear of the building, so partly in shade. In any case, his shirt was so wet that he drove home without it. This meant that I had to go into A&W for supper on my own. It was an absolute zoo (Friday of the long weekend at supper time!?) We got our food and headed down the highway, and then realized that I had been grossly overcharged for the meal. Not a good ending for the day.
Tomorrow my Ravenesque ladies come over for the day. This means that the yard work that has been neglected this year has to all be done today, as well as tidying the studio, kitchen and bathroom. I have become so sensitive to the sun that we haven't spent any time outside this year, so we hadn't even brought down the umbrella from the attic of the garage. David spent this morning out cleaning out the entire garage, and then cleaning up all of the tables and chairs etc with the power washer. There were piles of leaves and sunflower seed shells all over the floor . David says that there is no way for the squirrels to get in the garage, so I have to wonder where the junk is coming from.
We took a short break and went to Home Depot to buy me a piece of Plexi-glass, and then ended up at Wal-Mart looking for school supplies that I need, and buying David some new clothes. So it's now 2:00 and I have barely put a dent in my "To Do" list, even if the re-cycling bin is almost full. Time to get back to it.
