When it rains it pours....
Jul. 29th, 2025 10:20 amSo in the friends group we have Goblin who has now passed the rainbow bridge yesterday and now Gheeka is doing poorly. That was a blow last night at Ari's for me. She did not want my snuggles or my pets.
Figured out at the same time that power was lost at the Dahka and a huge derecho was expected. And it slammed Hudson. My cousin lost some outbuildings and lots of trees. My neighbor Ruby is okay and has lots of trees down.
Reports on the storm Sioux Falls News, Area news, more, and dont travel in Hudson .
Power finally came back up and I was able to see a lot of trees down. I will do comparisons later but damn. We needed to do more trees any way but sighs.
So before all of that mess I finished work and took Benton back to school shopping which included a cell phone. That part was actually easy though activation took a bit since he has a google account but his dad has the parental controls (this was setup for the xbox so yeah). I also got a new phone but the transfer took a few hours but that was okay. Benton got a Moto G Stylus and I got the new iphone 16 pro Max. They gave me like $1000 for trade in on my old phone so yeah. Shopping for clothes went pretty well. And I got $50 off at Old Navy using my card with them so that was nice. He got 4 pants, 4 shirts and undies. Tonight will be new shoes and other than trying to get us all on an early schedule we should be good for the start of school.
But yeah I just want to curl into a ball for a bit. But the weather is hot and the house is hot due to it being 40% humidity now so the evap doesn't work and I was so hot I went to the family room and slept in front of the fan on the couch for 3 hours last night. I'm tired but I got up, got going and amazon decided to deliver a package to my neighbors alley gate versus our front porch. WTAF? You had put on in the correct spot like 2 hours before that? UGH. Its maddening.
So yeah things are weird. I will see if we have house damage today with my cousin doing an inspection and then see about getting a clean up crew to come and take care of the downed trees. I will have to call an arborist to plant new ones and that was on the plan anyway for next year since some of the older ever greens were dying anyway. But this has just added so much to fucking MONDAY AND TUESDAY of our first week home? Ugh.
