Last night we got some effects from Hurricane Ike. I went to bed, late as usual even though I have to get up at 5:00a.m. The curtains in the bedroom were blowing, but it wasn`t too bad of a wind. It was terribly hot yesterday, and it was still hot at night and the wind was hot coming in. Then it started to REALLY get windy! I thought the curtains were going to blow right off the window, I only use those tension rods for curtains, so I don`t put holes in the wood. I could hear things blowing around outside and stuff falling over. I got up to look outside, of course it was dark, what could I possibly see. I put the weather channel on, and there was wind warnings. I do not like wind. I couldn`t sleep. I must have gotten up about 5 or 6 times. I tried to wake up Hubby, forget that. So, I paced through the house. I paced until 2:00a.m. That left me 3 hours to sleep. So, bet you can guess that I`m real tired tonight. Today was a very long day, and sometimes it felt like I couldn`t get through the next five minutes. But I did.
In the morning I got to see what the wind did. It broke a limb off a tree next door and it was laying on the electric wires and they came to trim it after I got home. My fall decorations that I had just put out in the gazebo were half hanging off. I had a bunch of tomatoes ripening on the deck railing and they were scattered all over the driveway, the welcome mat was not in front of the door, and my grapevine tree was laying on it`s side. At least nothing got damaged. Things just needed picking up.
So, now I am going to go to bed after Hubby goes back to work from lunch break. I hope I can sleep, I might be too tired.
