The power has been out for 14 hours. I'm so hot it's ridiculous. One of our fire alarms is periodically beeping because it's malfunctioning. Wind whips so hard through the storm shutters that they bang and whistle. I'm charging my phone on my laptop the best I can. The house is a dark, humid, hot … Continue reading In the Midst of the Storm

C Just Landed!
C just landed at our local airport, and just in time. A typhoon arrives tomorrow. It might be big. I've got a bathtub full of water in case the water lines get cut.

I taught the Bible journaling seminar to homeschoolers on Friday. The group was small and friendly. I hope they got something out of it. I came home strangely exhausted and had to go to bed shortly after 7. Today I got up early enough, but I still feel exhausted even after napping with my husband. … Continue reading Fatigue

Now I'm behind on housework and have to catch up tomorrow. Same with laundry. To that end, I am cutting that medicine in half to see if … Continue reading Exhaustion
