What I did today, after the panic attack went away (and all money cleared the bank):

  • Swifferred and mopped the kitchen floor.
  • Completed two loads of laundry.
  • Finished weather observation experiment: how much rain did we get in 12 hours (1.25 inches) and 24 hours (total of 1.50 inches). Repeating the experiment again tonight.
  • Hugged dogs and kids.
  • Made a strawberry-banana smoothie without a recipe. Was pronounced good by all.
  • Cleaned crap out of Rachel’s closet. Shredding party tomorrow.
  • Reviewed kids’ winter clothing (15 minute fashion show). Found stuff that fit and stuff that didn’t. Will repeat tomorrow and until all clothes have been reviewed.
  • Played “Battleship” against Sarah and Rachel. I won. Neener, neener, neener!
  • Hugged dogs and kids.
  • Updated syllabus and discussion grading rubric. More Fall semester prep work tomorrow!
  • Grocery-shopped at Target.

And now… the weather radio is going off:

  • At 10:20 pm. Really odd.
  • Must be another flash flood warning in the southern part of the state. Some places have had almost a foot of rain since Friday.
  • No, it’s a severe thunderstorm watch, extending all the way to the Twin Cities.
  • Valid until 4 am. WTF?

I guess if I’m going to get blown out of bed in a couple hours, I should go to bed now.
