Sunday - I don't remember much about what I did Sunday so sorry but nothing to say.
Monday - I did not watch the eclipse other than what was on the Internet and the TV. It really never got dark here either as it was only like 40% covered during that time frame. It looked like maybe partly cloudy at best. Hopefully any of you that watched used the proper eye wear to see it.
Tuesday - I remember working late on Tuesday as there was much to do. That is okay with me. I really do enjoy the work I do and used to work a lot more a few years ago than I do now. Back then it was working 7 days a week but that is rare now-a-days. I got caught up with the oldest on a book series that we just finished reading. It was sort of a lame series but I really enjoy chatting about it with my oldest. Between the two of us, we figured out who murdered someone before we got to the end.
Wednesday - Wednesday I went out at lunch to take care of some banking, I found out if I had opened a certain type of savings there at the branch I could have gotten some free money! I sure wish they would have told as that was already done. Oh well. The place I bank at was having a sort of customer appreciation event on Friday where they had free food, etc., but I generally only take a 30 minute lunch so I didn't go even though they gave me a flier on it.
Thursday - I met one of my sister's for lunch. In order to not spend a ton of time, we ate at a local Subway. They were so slow!! There were only 3 people in front of us but we waited over 20 minutes just to get to our turn in line. I was almost going to suggest eating somewhere else. I ended up being gone the entire hour which was unreal to me. But we had a nice lunch. My sister was headed out to NC to visit a friend the next day so she is missing a lot of this hurricane crap!
Friday - It was pizza and beer night as usual. I usually never work late on Fridays bur I had some work to finish up but I got it done relatively quickly. Hurricane Harvey was in the news the last few days and was hitting Rockport,TX badly. We were expecting some rains but nothing seriously major.
Saturday - brings me to today. Although we are in what I would say us the outer cone of Hurricane Harvey the power went out today just before noon, and you guessed I was working. It isn't like we had high winds or tons of rain either. I have no clue why it went out. It didn't come back on until 4:15PM. I heard some popping noise coming from the small fridge in that room and here a bunch of water had melted and gotten under the fridge and around the back and a little on the floor. I'm just very glad there was no electrical fire once the power came on and it went back on. I cleaned up the mess and it was back on and functioning. I didn't bother to do anything more because the power was on then Just now about 6:52PM, the power went out again. I'm only able to keep blogging because for some reason the laptop is keeping my blog open so I can type.
I went ahead and turned off and unplugged that fridge and put a tray in the bottom to hopefully catch any melted ice this time.
