thunder & lightning & chipmunks--oh, my!

Holy cow! There was such a thunderstorm here last night, I thought the world was coming to an end. The thunder was bad enough, but the lightning was crazy. I swear to God, I thought it struck the corner of the house right outside my bedroom. The electricity went out, & I thought for sure Dish Network was gone forever. LOL

At 2:30am, I had to jump out of bed & run around closing windows--in the dark, with a flashlight, no less--then I had trouble falling back to sleep because it was so hot & I couldn't run my fan. The big, noisy thunder & lightning didn't help, either. :-p

Surprisingly, even without the alarm, I managed to wake up just a little after 8am. Of course, a whining little kitty cat helped. *g* Then I had to run around outside, dumping water out of all the bird feeders I'd filled yesterday.

Also yesterday, I put up a new window seat for the cats, which they already seem to like. And we've got an adorable chipmunk who comes around several times a day to collect seed from beneath one of the bird feeders. He's so cute & keeps the cats entertained for hours. It's like Feline TV. I just know they want to get out there & try to catch him. :-)

And now it's time to get back to work on those galleys & FFW. Have a good day, everyone!
