Here and Black(out) Again

Here I am at my dark o’clock with Miss Stella at my side. I did not know if I would be able to post today. The winds kept getting stronger and strong last night. We lost power several times. It seems to be relatively calm outside now though. I am grateful. I did not want to have to deal with work not having power. We have a large generator but when the power goes so does the internet which would mean cash only transactions at the registers as well as countless other headaches.

I just need to get through today. Then two days off. I think this week and next will be overtime checks for me. The extra hours I get on the second closing shift bumps me up and over. The checks will be nice though. I should start doing my holiday shopping.

The trees are pretty much bare after yesterday/ last night. I should get out in the yard and pick up branches when I get home. I worry that when Stella goes running after her ball she will impale something. She won’t go around anything when she is chasing her ball. It’s usually through any obstacles in her way. She’s come close a few times to either a stick in the face or another body part.

The phone clock says it is time to get moving (the kitchen clock is still flashing from the power outage). I hope you have an amazing day! Thanks for reading and stay safe!
