Hey, there!
Figures after I talk about what I like about my city, within days we get the 100 year flood and make everyone pity us. LOL, but we're surviving and for me, personally, we didn't have any major damage (yet!). Although it's raining hard AGAIN today and hoping it won't last all day and impact the roads that are just recovering from being flooded.
After work, just have to do my workout and need to pack for our weekend trip so we won't have to do it tomorrow. We're going to Austin to celebrate my BFF's boyfriend's bday. I may have some wine after my shower while packing, but nothing too crazy. I'm working tomorrow, assuming I am not flooded out from getting to work, haha!
OrangePixyStix I've been thinking about you and your city! I hope you stay safe and that everything dries out quickly.
Thanks. Fortunately we live on the high side of the closest river so my immediate area isn't too much of a concern. But the area I grew up in has been hit really hard, and I saw pics of one of the parks that is notorious for always flooding and I have never in my life seen it as bad as it is this week. They are saying the water amount is more than the worst hurricane we experienced in history, and is the equivalent of having 88 Niagara Falls dumped on our city in a span of 5 hours, and it's still coming down in various areas. Some of the road closures are expected to remain in effect for up to 4-6 weeks, and that is the longest I've ever heard of the water taking to recede. It's been very eye opening.... but you know what they say, everything is bigger in Texas, so I guess rain storms have to be included, eh? :?
OrangePixyStix - yikes! I am glad you are ok, I was thinking about you!
Today is my Friday, I took tomorrow off, so I am quite excited. I had about 5.5 hours of meetings though today, so not very long to finish up my work. I am busy, but procrastinating by posting.
Not drinking anything exciting tonight. My BFF and I are booking a trip to Vegas, so I need to buckle down and get serious about my exercise and eating but Yay! Vegas girls trip!
