It's one of THOSE days

We had such a storm last night. I don't think I have ever witnessed such a storm so close to me in a very long time. The thunder actually woke me up. Once awake Dan and I wondered at the lightening. I think Argo was a bit scared because as soon as the rain started pelting the house he jumped from the window sill and meowed really loudly until Dan snuggled him.  Amazingly the power did not go out. This years weather has been very odd. I can't really remember a year where the snow stayed until May, the summer ended in August and the Wind has blown so hard that it's broken so many things. The days are still too warm for comfort, and the nights so cold I am tempted to turn on my electric blanket.

I slept very late. I actually enjoyed it. But I did have plans. I was going to try a zucchini recipe, but I couldn't get up the gumption to go to the store. I crawled in to the tub and got immersed into a book. A few hours later Dan came home with dinner and movies. Those RedBox free ones. We watched the Terminator Salvation, (OK) and The Vampire's Assistant, (Was pretty good). It was really nice to sit with Dan again and just enjoy. I'm so weird about movies these days. I used to love to watch any movie, Chick Flick, action, drama, horror, suspense, Pretty much anything. I can't tell you how many movies I went to my teenage years. A few summers that Lorie and I practically watched a movie a night in the theater or rented.

Now I'm weird about them. I don't want to watch Chick Flicks, and I HATE horror. Some suspense is OK. and I prefer action. No Sci-Fi at all! It's gotta be a really interesting if it's a comedy, because there are some that are just too silly!  I tend to buy movies that I liked in the theater and then for some reason I don't ever want to see it again. HUH?

Anyway, I was in the shower when Dan got home. I was trying to finish up my bath before he made it home, but I didn't make it. However I didn't tell Dan I was in the tub when he called, so when I heard him banging, I decided to hop out of the shower and get the door. Except that he wasn't upstairs, he was in the garage. So blind because I didn't grab my glasses, and wet because I only grabbed the towel for my body, and in my favorite slippers so I wouldn't pick up anything on the floor on my wet feet, I ran downstairs to open the door. Then I ran back up to finish washing my hair. I was suddenly very weak. I got back in but could barely stand. I got the conditioner in and then immediately washed it as I was pretty sure if I didn't sit down I was going to fall. Dan helped me out of the shower and I sat on the toilet seat for about 5 minutes. I guess I pushed my body too much by running back up the stairs.

I'm feeling better now, but my body is so exhausted. My mind is going 10 miles a minute. But the old body is going so slow it's almost going backwards. I have so many plans and no energy to do them. I'm still trying to decide if we're going to do a BBQ for Labor day. We have done one for the last 3 years. The ladies assured me it would be OK if we didn't, but I want to get together. I just don't want to do the work. LOL. Cleaning, cooking, cleaning up.  Sigh, I've got to decide soon though. It's now under a week away.

Sigh, anyone got a bottle of children's energy to give me? I'm feeling so drained.
