What's going on today?

I'm home from work today. It's pretty sweet, but the reason is not. Our house got struck by lightning during a bad storm last night. It struck below a big window we have so the entire window shattered. DH has a busy day at work today so I get to stay home to make sure no one breaks in before the window guy can come fix it. There wasn't any other damage to our house, thank God, but I'm really annoyed. The windows were an addition when the previous owner flipped the house and he did a pretty shitty job with the panels he put in. I'm glad we have the space, but we really don't need floor to ceiling windows there.

mynameiscarrie, wow, that is so strange! I've never seen lightning do that. That must have been scary. Around here it's usually monster hail that takes out your windows

I think I found a music sub for me last night Respected retired member of the music teaching and performing community, loves freshmen, is comfortable with both band and orchestra, and is very excited about the opportunity. I've known her for years (and the fact that she is a she is kind of a plus, since the kids are already used to working with a lady), she knows the choir director at my school (they're both clarinetists), and she even knows my husband from the community orchestra. She's followed me on Facebook with my posts about work for a long time. I feel good about this!

The carpal tunnel and hand swelling issues were becoming a major problem for me last night in rehearsal. My pinkies swelled and my fingers just kind of refused. It's hard to play Stars and Stripes on the flute when your hands just give up. I was getting really frustrated with it. My knuckles still feel tight :/

I've slept through the night for the last couple of nights. What is this? I'm scared to trust it.

fuzzylogic, yeah we were actually looking out the window when it happened. There was a huge flash and then glass shattering inside. DH didn't get hit by any glass. I got hit on my legs but nothing deep enough to cause any real damage. We thought maybe a pinecone had come through the window, but there was nothing on the floor in the room or outside the window. We think it hit the concrete and the window just shattered from the vibrations. It could have been a whole lot worse so I'm thankful it was just a window.

Good morning, ladies! Sorry about the window mynameiscarrie!

I have the dizzies today. Ughhh... lol

[GoBigOrGoGnome]

That is crazy, mynameiscarrie! I'm glad the glass didn't hurt y'all and that the lightning didn't do more damage.


Does anyone watch Income Property on HGTV? I don't know why, but I think the host is really attractive.

Yeah, he's a cutie. And he loves showing off which can sometimes be pretty funny.

ETA: For those who don't know who he is:

We all know I have a weakness for guys with hair and/or beards. He also wears a flannel and a tool belt and goes around smashing things. What more can you ask for?

[GoBigOrGoGnome]

Sorry, @kemye13, the Property Brothers just don't do it for me. More for you!!!

[GoBigOrGoGnome]

Now this guy from Yard Crashers? Hells yes.

I always got the gay vibe from the Property Brothers. They are cute though.

I'm the opposite! I get the gay vibe from the Income Property guy. 

[PonyGirl]

@kemye13, I'm right there with ya on the Property Brothers! And I have also kind of gotten the gay vibe from them too, but they're still easy on the eyes! And GoBigOrGoGnome, I'll take the Yard Crasher guy too!

Here's what I dug up:

Jonathon (property brother twin with long hair) - was married young (to a woman) and is single.

Drew (property brother twin always In a suit) - no personal love life info so far in my search.

Scott (income property) - married with 1 child.

I've also got the gay vibe from all 3 of them, but I wonder if it's more because they are in tune with design and that is a total stereotype about gay men.

My day wouldn't have been complete without this information. Usually I'm the one who looks it up. Thanks for doing the work for me

I like the suited Property Brother, he is pretty hunky.

I am debating on buying some items for baby to be's nursery. We already have the furniture, DD's hand me downs. I'm just talking about sheets, decor, ya know.
I still have 20w to go, but sales. And what if these cutesy items I see now aren't available then?

[ugotstarbucked]

eek mynameiscarrie that sounds scary! Glad you guys are ok, though I'm sure that's a PITA to deal with.

I swear I'm going to kill this one lady at a school I work with. She's so dense! I've gotten at least 10 panicked emails from her today. It's like, "lady, I don't have a magic wand over here." I've tried to help her, told her what to do on her end, and she just can't even.

I got the second part of my screening results and they are all normal! I'm so relieved. Now just to get a good bill of health during the AS and I will be in heaven!!

[fuzzylogic]

I picked out fabric for my nursery curtains and a pillow for the glider (whenever I find it) today! My MIL loves making curtains and I found some beautiful fabric.

In fact, here it is!


I also found a generator for the fireworks stand and a just-graduated senior who's planning on helping most days. I am having a much better afternoon than morning.

I've never gone to the chiropractor before and I have an appointment at 4:15 tomorrow. How is prenatal chiros different from regular appointments?

I just found out I am only getting paid for one week of work this week since I forgot to code my time (I've been salaried for years and just took an hourly position, bummer) and so I will get paid the rest next week. I guess I should feel lucky I don't have to wait the two weeks for a paycheck, but still.

[flippinchica]

So pretty fuzzylogic, and hooray for more help!
