I woke up with a cramp in my foot, had the radio on & heard the weather warning. The storm was supposed to be way north of us going east, but now the lightening is almost overhead & the thunder is booming & my dogs are on top of me so very scared.

Electricity keeps going out, so not sure if this will even post. Probably should shut this all down so that a power surge doesn't fry all my connectors again.

This Kentucky weather is really something

I hope the bad weather didn't last too long. I feel sorry for your poor doggies, not knowing what's happening. Lightning and thunder can be very scary for them.

I logged off to try & get the weather channel up on my computer to track where this storm is going.....so slow, I still don't have the weather information up, but in just those few minutes, the lightening stopped being overhead. It didn't blow over the house to the other side, it just sort of stopped being around us (thank heaven).

Lucky it didn't hit the water tower that transmits my internet either as it's still up (or I wouldn't be able to be on here).

I hate nights like this. I went to bed early (or as early as midnight really is which is early for me) specifically to get some sleep because I was so exhausted......then 2:30 hit......going to be a bad day tomorrow when I have a bad night.

It's been so hot I haven't been functional at all around the house. Can't seem to get anything done & then anxiety hits because I have so much to do.

Only thing I got done today was to get all the paperwork filled out for Small Claims court so I can take it in on Monday & get it filed against the guy who took my money to do fencing on my farm & did absolutely nothing...then said he would pay me back my money the beginning of the year & I haven't seen a cent of it yet.

Seems like I am battling people, weather, & my own mental illness that rears it's head right when I need to be the most functional. Stress causes me to not be functional for days at a time which doesn't help my to do list.

I was trying to figure out what was wrong with my garage door opener on Thursday night. My 92 year old friend who has always done everything on her own farm came over to look & put our minds together to see if we could figure it out......no luck with it being anything obvious. I was so stressed not figuring that out that I had a horrible night the last night.......so many bad nights in a row is really taking it's toll.

The heat & the humidity is really bad for the durigesic patches I use for my migraine pain. They changed the way they make them this year & the adhesive doesn't stick well when the body gets hot & sweaty......so when I was taking my shower last night, the patch ended up almost falling off. Had to tape it back on to make it until tonight. Not sure how much of the med was actually left on the patch after that cause I was struggling with the twinges of a migraine all day today.....those patches always last for 72 hours before having to be changed but the heat really is making a difference in this new design.

Not sure where the storm went, but seems to have gone south west instead of east......very strange storm.....still cant get my desktop weather channel up with the information. Looks like the program might have gotten corrupted & may have to uninstall & reinstall it to get it working again......grrrr.....always something that doesn't work!!!!

Sorry for the bad days, eskielover.

Another huge thunder storm is heading our way right now with a lot of ground lightening involved. I never could get the desktop weather to load correctly on my computer, but I ended up just bookmarking the parts that I want......hourly & weather map to see where the clouds are & where they are going......right for us...I hear the thunder booming continuously right now about 20 miles away.

Neighbors black angus cows are out in the field across from my farm. The millionaire that owned that farm died of cancer this last winter. He owned over 8000 acres. Think it all went to his daughters who are selling off some of the farm land. Hopefully they won't do much with the area across from my farm as it has the feed lot & the silo's. Don't think they would consider selling that off for subdivisions way out here. One never knows, but I really love living out in the country with no one around me..

I was going to do some painting on my front porch. Guess it's a good thing I did't start doing it now cause I'm painting the stuff that's on the outside that gets all the rain on it.....that wouldn't have been a good thing. Always something that gets in my way of getting things done. I thought that I could get all the primer painting done today.....not going to happen now.

Oh well, I have all the paint thinner to clean my brushes now (had to go get that this afternoon). It was a rather nice day today...not too hot with the storms, but tomorrow is going to be around 90 again....another Non-functional day.

Well, another thankful storm......all the large amount of lightening went west of us....not even getting any sprinkle of rain.

Interesting, the first summer I was here, all the storms came in from the south west.....this year, we are getting them from the north. Weather patterns are very interesting. I was always fascinated about the weather, but it was always too unpredictable for me to really focus on. Their predictions are seldom correct even with all the complicated weather equipment they have. I'm the kind that watches & tracts, but not one to predict anything.

Eskielover Hopefully it will not last long.

Can I relate or what! I really hope things settle for you eskielover; I feel so sorry for your dogs, poor animals are so affected by the thunder and lightening.

I really do hope you have a much better night tonight...
