it's ain't over till the lady sings...

and she's not singing here- HOLY MOLY They thought we were done with monsoons! I can remember when we were kids and lived down here we would get some really impressive thunderstorms. Where the lightening would lighten up the sky like daylight and the rain comes down in sheets. Tonight is something I've never seen before. The only way I could describe it is a light strobe across the sky. The lightening has not stopped since about 8:30 it's now almost 10:00. We have warnings going till midnight. We live for these kinda storms here! We were supposed to get parts of the hurricane Julio- I suppose we are. We keep watching the doppler and are stunned at how big this storm is and how much lightening there is. I am shocked we still have still have internet and power!Knock on wood!
We also get what's called microburst. A storm on top of a storm which develop over the desert!

I am one of those who LOVES bad weather. I think I've posted about it before. As long as it's not dangerous or causes harm to people and homes. We desperately need the rain.

The only other problem we have is the dogs! They HATE HATE these storms. Bilko trys to run away because he doesn't know what it is and what all the noise is. He's either under the bed, the desk or on top of Carls head. He gets a benedry when it gets this bad. Maggie just gets hyper then lies down and stays that way.

I did get to stay home today. I traded a shift with someone. But it was nice to get the house put back together and clean. I feel better today than I've felt in a while and my head feels clear. It's just a one day at a time thing. I have to remind myself to take the medication and carry my (nitro) patch with me. I think I mentioned earlier I've gotten my scrapbooking grove back. I got a coupon for 50 free prints from Costco. I need to print some pictures too for the living room!
Lots do this weekend - rain pending. Carls parents are going to stay with us through Labor Day.
Hope everyone has a safe and Happy Labor Day!
