So.... This is probably going to be a long post because I'm riddled with panicky anxiety, and I need to vent I guess.
Hello ghosts. How are you all faring? This whole lock down thing is a pain (it's necessary of course but still). Well anyway, I live in the Bible Belt and as many of you probably don't know, we just had a string of tornadoes tear through many states. My own town had an EF2 touch down next the my best friend's house, and it completely destroyed one of my town's busiest and most populated areas. I got a call at 4am to see if we'd be willing to live without power for a while and lend our generator to one of my husband's buddy's grandma who got narrowly missed by the tornado. Of course we said yes. My best friend and her apartment complex, luckily, are okay, but she worked from home and now has no power as well so there goes her paychecks. *Sigh* I've had 3 hours of sleep (I had to stay awake during the storm because we had to take shelter in our basement and I wasn't about to sleep through that shit) and have been running around town checking on family and friends all of the early morning hours. It's a sickening feeling, passing one damaged house after the next until you finally get to the house you're checking on. Why am I telling you all these things? Because this stone-hearted woman is feeling things for her neighbors for once. I grew up in South Florida where we got slammed by hurricanes (which can spawn tornadoes) multiple times a years. They were no big deal. Spanish style homes can withstand a lot of mother nature's beatings. These Tennessee homes, however, are made so flimsy, and these people are never prepared. It's devastating.
So I guess my point is, I will be without power for a while and I need to conserve my shitty phone's power so I won't be updating my latest story any time soon. Thank you if you read all of this nonsense, and I hope you all are doing well.
