Ainsleymom, they're Hudsons. And I love them. Finally took the tags off. So that's it -- I'm committed. 122 for life.
I had a crazy day yesterday. The short version: ran 8 miles, had out-of-town friends over for breakfast, met an out-of-town friend for lunch, got caught in an unbelievable thunderstorm on the way home -- I was so sure I was going to die, couldn't see a thing with the wipers on high, branches falling left and right (one right in front of me), phone squawking tornado warnings. I was terrified to pull into our neighborhood -- we have tons of old trees that form canopies over the road and they are always dropping limbs. Hands shaking -- heck, my foot was shaking on the accelerator -- I pulled into the garage and burst into hysterics. I was emotionally exhausted. Later, decided I didn't feel like cooking, packed the kids in the car to go out to dinner only to find that most of our town is out of electricity. No traffic lights working. Drove all over looking for an open restaurant. Finally found one and it was packed -- because everyone without electricity went out to eat. The wait would have been forever. So we drove home and cooked.
Now, today, they say it will take days to restore power to everyone. Hundreds of traffic lights are out, so we really should stay off the road. The girls' day camp is cancelled (DD#2 is sick anyways). Mandatory water restrictions (pumping station without power). The very, very good news is that we have power! I really feel for people who don't.
Up a bit today -- just to 122.8, but wondering if my maintenance cals are too high, or if it's due to TOM arriving yesterday, my salty salad at lunch, the plethora of diet cokes I had to wash said salad down... it's a "focus on protein" day today!
Happy Monday everyone!
