zolaVery lazy weekend for me, I was tired.
My back is almost completely fine now, just a few twinges to remind me if I sit still too long or try to twist too fast. My biggest gripe is that the sore area was close enough to my waist that it was really a pain to get a heating pad on it unless I actually lay down. Still, if this is my worst complaint, I shouldn't worry.
We had a little bit of a scare on Friday night due to the tornadoes that you've been reading about in the news. There was a cell that kept showing up as tornadic on the radar that was pretty much headed straight for us. The local station weather kept breaking in to update everyone, and they warned any watchers in West Liberty Kentucky (which is really close to the WV state line) to take cover immediately. Sadly, seven people died there despite the warnings.
It was a serious enough situation that both Ben and I kept our shoes on and I had a small pile on my desk of the things I absolutely *had* to grab if we had to evacuate the mobile home, like my wallet with my identification in it.
Fortunately for us and all the people between us and that storm, it lost power pretty quick between the sun going down and the roughness of the terrain, and by the time it got here, it just produced some lightning and thunder, and not anything all that impressive at that.
Today's weather was bizarre. It snowed for a while, then the sun came out. The sun was really warm, so the tiny bit of snow that accumulated, which was only like a half-hearted dusting of confectioner's sugar, melted immediately. Then some rain clouds came along but the air was so cold we had tiny little pellets of ice coming down. Then the sun came back out, then it snowed and iced some more...
Tomorrow is supposed to be chilly but sunny, then on Tuesday we're back into the upper 50's and may hit 70 before the week is over. This has definitely been the winter that wasn't! I just hope the pattern settles down so there aren't more tornadoes--I feel like we dodged a bullet this time.
