F off, #Francine! 🌀 I've been without power for 14 hours, huge branches down in the yard and the noise I heard all night was my gate swinging back and forth because the wind blew it open despite two locks! Thank God a guy helped me bend back the mangled handle so I could shut it.

Here comes Hurricane Francine. I am so not looking forward to losing power, especially since it will be in the upper 80s this week. Stay safe, everyone! ⚜️🌀

Well my car battery died and the auto company is sending Modern Auto Wreckers to help me out. Yikes!

My niece just sent me a hilarious photo of her boys at the store. She said the two-year-old seeks out grumpy people and says hi until they reply. I wish I could post the photo but she doesn't want them on social media.
