And so it begins
Sep. 2nd, 2016 04:53 amThe rain started as I pulled up to work (remind me to find out about the shooting across the street) and the drunks have been throwing hurricane parties. Joy.

Home now. Work was... interesting. The trucks weren't as bad as I feared, but part of that is probably because I spent a good chunk of the first couple of hours worrying when the rain started intensifying. But whenever I looked outside, it wasn't awful so that helped.
I was annoyed as hell to learn that they had two people coming in at 6am and another at 7am, which means that if Mums had gotten there early (or I, y'know, drove) I could have gone home early. Raaaaaargh. Why didn't I look yesterday so I would have known? WHY.
On the plus side, had I looked, I would not have been there to find the WnW Fall mini display completely untouched. I grabbed all the mascaras and the two eye shadow trios but passed on the lipsticks. I don't look good in that shade of pink, red makes my face look redder than it is, and I'm not sure how vampy I can go and honestly, I don't remember staying in love with the lipstick swatches online. I might look later and regret my decision to skip them. I probably won't.
Went to visit my brother's kittens who are now cat sized, even though they're still kittens to me (and will be. Forever). They're so cute! I'll see if my pictures are anything better than super blurry messes. It poured while I was there and Mums was running the boy to work. (His car is out of commission currently.)
It also poured while we were at the grocery store. The rain has stopped for now and has been pretty quiet for the last hour or so, so I could clean up after the dog (and take her for a walk) and put up the empty boxes that I'm waiting for recycle day to be rid of.
The pond nearest us has been dangerously low for awhile and when I took the dog for her walk, it was back up to normal levels. However, the next pond down is still really, really low. So I wonder how things are gonna work with the rain when it comes back?
*eyes the backdoor* Huh. Storm looks like maybe it's kicking back up. I'll let you know how it goes, but I think I should find matches and set up the flashlights just in case.
