• Waking up on the third anniversary of the tornado with it storming outside is a bit discomforting...
• How do nerds get rid of precarious rotten tree limbs? They use a longbow to shoot a rope over the limb & then yank it down. TAKE THAT, TREE!

• Tuscaloosa is under a tornado watch. :(
• OH GOD I'M IN THE POLYGON!!!
• The power's out. There are trees down on my street. My peeps are safe for now.

• We lost a student in last night's storm. :( More severe weather expected tonight. Already emotionally exhausted enough for three more years.
• We're under a tornado watch AGAIN. :(
• I'm playing sudoku by candlelight and keep getting distracted by making shadow puppets on the wall. Hehehe.

Well, we just lost all power to the house because of a storm. It's reminding me a bit too much of Tornado Day. :(

Crap, I'm actually a little panic-y... F### you, PTSD. >:(

I just realized I can't watch movies/shows about tornadoes without crying. This is distressing. :(

Ivan turned my week topsy-turvy, and I just want to thank everyone for their well wishes and support. Everyone who was affected is in my thoughts, and I hope for the best with the coming storms Jeanne and Karl.

The good news in all of this? Being unable to leave the house for a whole day, I started a new sculpture and finished him today: a baby Ninja Turtle, shortly post-mutation! He's going to look so much better once he's painted and the details are brought out. But OMG, it's getting increasingly hard not to snuggle him because he's just so adorable in person. :D
