STOP THE CLOCK!

This month has been CRAZY!  The last few weeks have really got me spinning... kinda' like I was in the middle of a hurricane, oh wait!  I WAS! And possibly even a tornado.  What the DOODLE?  Long Island does NOT have these weather extremes usually.  Oh, and did I mention we had a pretty big tremor from the earthquake in Virginia?  Just what is going on here?  I was so happy to get away and go on that dream vacation to Hawaii that we waited so long for.  Not even paradise could keep me totally away from DK.  So, after 10 days of very limited viewing of DK, I was so excited to finally get home (if I had to even come home at all...) and get right on my computer and check out all of the happenings on my FAVORITE site..... only to be thrown off by of all people, MOTHER NATURE!  Well she had her nerve... the first (and lucky for us the only) thing we lost was our cable, which of course controls..... yep, you guessed it MY COMPUTER!  It was a very loooonnnnnnnngggg 4 days.  I even had the nerve to say to DH, at least if we only lost our electric, we could hook up the generator so I could check on DK....Now as much as he (now) realizes how important you all are to me, he was ready to call the men with the 'white jacket'.  Hey, I was losing it, really first the previous 10 days, and now this, but no generator in the world could have gotten my cable back so there I sat, about every 30 minutes testing to see if my cable was back on.  I would push the button.... fuzz and snow.... shut it off.... 30 minutes later, push the button..... snow and fuzz......I think I have a blister from pushing the button on the remote on and off!

   In all seriousness, I am so grateful that no one I knew had any major damage and that everyone came out of this fine.  I'm so glad I can now get back to ALL OF YOU on a more full time schedule!  But WAIT!  I have to go back to work on Tuesday!  Oh NO!  Somebody please STOP THE CLOCK!

Shelly - Glad you're back!   My ML is in KIngs Park and still in the dark!!!   We've offered to go down and get her and bring her to NH but she's a stubborn one and insists she must "stay with the ship"!   We lost power but fortunately have a generator.   Let's hope Mother Nature takes a longggg rest!
