So sadly, Friday morning AF showed up. At least I think it was Friday. I don't have my calendar in front of me. Regardless, this cycle did not end with a baby surprise. At first I was very sad, but I'm on to a new cycle now so there's hope again. To try and make sense of it all, I just told myself trying to move into a new house while pregnant would not be good. I love to paint and wouldn't be able to participate in that so it works out okay. We'll be in the new house before testing time again so at least we'll be settled. I can't change the outcome so there's no reason to dwell on it at this point.
Sunday, Ike blew us away. I had no idea that we would get hit by a windstorm from Hurricane Ike, but oh boy we did. I left for church Sunday thinking, it's windy out here. Walking from the parking lot into church, I thought my earrings were going to rip right through my ears. I left church and realized something crazy was going on. On the way home, there were trees down everywhere, blocking main roadways and power was out in several places. I-71 had a trampoline on it that had blown over from a nearby neighborhood. That was crazy to see. I could barely get through our neighborhood b/c of all the down tress, but once I got home, we didn't have power. So what did we do?? We went furniture shopping. We had to drive across town to find a store with power, but we had nothing else to do. Our power came back on Sunday night, but it wasn't until this morning that we got internet and cable back. Work is out of power. Of course, I didn't even think to call until I pulled up and saw that it was dark. A few of us showed up so we just called patients to tell them we would be closed until the power came back on and then I went to hang out with my cousin and her kids who are out of school until the power comes back on. This morning, I got up and got ready b/c our supervisor said plan to come in unless she called. Of course, I got no call so I threw on some jeans and a sweatshirt and called her myself. She said to stay home for now and she'll call later. Either today or tomorrow I'll go in and do some chart audits for a few hours, but it won't be a whole day of work. I don't mind that, but just tell me if I need to stay home and expect to come in or if I have the day off and expect to come in tomorrow. I have things I could be doing other than waiting to hear from work. Oh well, at least we have power.
