First on the amazing list is Colette! Although we expected her to come home on Saturday, the discharge date was moved to Monday (today) or Tuesday (tomorrow). Of course the goal is to get her HEALTHY not simply to get her HOME — but it’s still pretty disappointing. I can’t wait…
One more amazing thing I want to mention! A thunderstorm hit the burg last night with predictions of high winds, possible hail, etc. All the stuff you dread living in southern Indiana minus a tornado (tornados are #1 on the dread list). So I checked the location of the storm on my iPad as it was moving in, and we secured outside items just as we always do when we expect bad weather. The pool rafts are stacked and a heavy chair is placed across them, the car goes in the garage, and cement blocks are placed on the hot tub cover on both the north and south side openings.
So here’s what is odd — this morning, the hot tub cover on the north side was flipped over, and the brick that was weighing it down was catapulted to the OTHER side of the lawn furniture which is more than 15 feet away! The grill beside the hot tub was not overturned, not one chair was blown out of place, and the rafts were right as we left them. The only evidence that there was wind here last night was that we were attempting to heat all outdoors to 103 degrees.
COLETTE UPDATE:
I just answered the phone. It was Ben. He was breathing nervously and speaking loudly.
Him: GUESS WHO GETS TO COME HOME TODAY???!!!??
Me: How many guesses do I get?
