This is old news but July 1st we had 1"+ hail and 90mph winds. House and pets are fine. Yard is a mess. And its now July 4th and we still have no electricity (and thus, no water, as we have a private well), and its been around 100'f going on a week now. We have a generator and a portable AC unit but it barely manages to keep the one room it is installed in below 86'F during the afternoon. There are still some side roads blocked by large trees and downed wires.
Bugland also has a new home aide, who seems fine, except that I can't understand 80% of what she says. I'm impatient with the drs, they're not really treating anything other than the pain, and even that, not as well as could be IMHO. Their "excuse" is that there is always some new symptom that they must explore before they can treat anything. So, the RSD was sort of put aside to explore the MS, the MS is put aside because they want to explore the epilepsy, and now they are distracted by bug's lungs- which I don't quite understand.
One day I'll find time to write and post a fic update. I'm sadly tempted to post raw script/notes, rather than the final story form.

Date: 2012-07-04 02:41 pm (UTC)it's beautiful where you are, so leafy but so devastated! I feel so sad when the big trees crumble. Glad all the critters are OK, you two included.
such an odd storm, that derecho. Had 90mph winds here, power out for 3.5 days. I'm one of a few here that have city water, so became a way station for friends. My evil housemate bitched about my friends taking showers with 'water she paid for' - agh!
it's hard to stay cool here even now that the ac is on again, it gets so beastly in the afternoon. I've been escaping to the library, movies, mall, etc but that gets old.
my dogs are bored stupid, and last night I took them to the river. Lightning was flickering on the horizon as dusk settled, and they got to frolic in the waves.
I wish for cool, gentle rain.
