Ernesto sneezes

We got a lot of wind and a bit of rain out of this one. I just hope it doesn't make everyone too complacent when the next one approaches. Blew down a few leaves and a couple of branches and howled a bit in the night. Power went off momentarily. Set off all the alarms but Sonnyboy was in the middle of one of his big sleeps and he was not disturbed. We just had to reset things and turn a few things back on and that was that.

I am sleeping very light these days. Cooking smells wake me up. Talking wakes me up. As usual pain wakes me up and of course my bladder wakes me up. TMI? Oh well... Getting back to sleep is difficult. I get up and wander around sometimes like an old dog guarding my family. I turn off lights and make sure doors are locked. Tidy up things here and there and once satisfied all is right with Hubby and Sonnyboy drift back to my room, trample the weeds down by going around in a circle a few times before I lay down and (hopefully) return to sleep.
