Staying up to keep an eye on the weather. It’s been nasty tonight. We had a ton of hail. Some up to quarter sized. The storm passed through our area and we decided to watch the newest installment of John Adams using HBO’s on demand. We’d started it and the kid had gone to sleep. We were watching it and ended up looking at each other as we heard this unearthly sound outside. Sounded like wailing women… it was the tornado sirens for another part of town. Switched back and found out the storm had strengthened north-east of us and they’d sounded the sirens. Eerie sound when it’s all you hear in the middle of the night. Gah!
They’re both asleep and I volunteered to stay up a little longer. Even though we have the weather radio the kid is afraid something will happen in the middle of the night. So if this makes him feel a little more secure so be it. I can handle it.
I feel better than I did last week. Exercise came to a standstill last week. Hopefully I can start back tomorrow.

Thankfully we only had strong t-storms coming through last night/early this morning. Still don’t like it because it can turn serious so fast. Doesn’t help the looney one has been out of state, but thankfully he should be home tonight.
