How are you all?

So, how was everyone's day today? A good one, I hope, or as Monday's go, anyway.

Lee woke me up about 8:20...not as early as usual. Of course, I can assure you I would have been up sooner, had he not gotten up at 6:00, and then fell asleep in the recliner, while waiting for the coffee to finish. lol. So, needless to say, things were a little more rushed, than usual. I got time to drink about a 1/2 cup of coffee, and check and delete the emails I didn't want. That was about it, before we had to take off. Lee was late, arriving about 5 till 9...he should have actually been there by 8:30. The boss doesn't give him too much lip...lol...they've had their words when things have gotten somewhat out of hand...although Lee tries his best to remain civil. So, once I was back home, I was able to enjoy another cup of coffee, or 2 or 3, while reading my morning emails.

It was an enjoyable morning, talked to Tara-Lee a couple of different times, and didn't have to worry about leaving till around 10:30 or so, to go pick up Moriah. Kirk and Tara-Lee were coming over to do some laundry, but talked like they would be here till around 11 or so, so I told them if I wasn't here, to just come on in, that I wouldn't be too long.

I had left to go get Moriah, and had only gone about a mile down the highway from our house, when I saw flashing lights in the opposite lane ahead of me. I thought to myself, "well, he caught him one." But, soon realized there were several flashing lights, and knew there had been a wreck. It didn't take long for me to see the man standing along side the road, motioning everyone to move to the farthest right lane of the highway, and then noticed several cars pulled over in the median. When I got within site of the accident, I was horribly astonished when I saw a car, upside down, in the middle of the highway. Completely turned over, it roof smashed like a toy car. "Oh my God!" was the first thing that came from my mouth, as I strained to see if anyone was still in the car. There were two firetrucks already there, and another arriving, trying to make his way through the already backed-up traffic. There was a fireman attending to a lady that was sitting in the median. The fact that she was sitting, and not lying on the ground, I took as a good sign, but I never could tell if there was anyone else in the car. I just know from the looks of that car, it is a miracle that she survived. I was so tuned in to looking at the upside down car, I didn't even notice if there was any other damaged vehicles. But I remember scanning the sides of the road, and the median, and just can't remember seeing any other damaged cars. The first car/truck that had stopped in the backed up traffic, was a big semi, loaded with cars. My first thought was that one of his cars had come loose, and she had swerved to miss it, flipping the car. But none of the cars were missing, and the transport was full. So, Lee and I are just having a horrible time, trying to figure out exactly what could have happened for her to just flip a car in the middle of the highway, like that. We even talked how if she had hit another car, her tail end, or front end would have been smashed to pieces. But the car didn't appear to be hit from either end...just overturned and the top smashed. You could barely see into the car, the roof was smashed so much, that the tops of the door frames were almost touching the highway. I meant to listen to the news tonight to see what info. I could hear about the cause of the accident, but forgot. I'm sure it will be on the news tomorrow morning, and I hope to catch it then. So, that sure started my day off with somewhat of a discourd. Once again it made me think about how quickly things can happen. On my way to get Moriah, I called Kirk, and told him he would need to take an alternate route to our house, as traffic was starting to back up quite quickly. I have a feeling that the wreck had probably only happened mins. before. One of the firestations is only about 1 mile away, and the other not much farther than that, and two had already arrived, and working on the scene. Traffic, at that stage, was probably already back-up about 1/2 mile, with one exit off, already block, and at the rate that cars were starting to approach, I knew it would't be long, before there would be bumper to bumper for miles. I was talking to Moriah on the cell, at the time I came upon the wreck. I also gave Lee a call to inform him about what had happend. It was one of the worst wrecks I've ever seen, and never seen one flipped like that. I can only remember one other that bad, but involed two cars, rather than one. I just pray that no one was killed.

Well, enough talk of this sad news. Time for something more cheerful...or at least ordinary!!! LOL Got Moriah picked up, and headed back to columbia. While we were at Landon's, I got a call from my rental company, saying that she had reached someone about the AC, and that they would be coming out today between 12-1. I was wanting to either color, or highlight my hair. Couldn't really decide which one yet, as I like them both. But, I had been wanting to get a "cap", for highlighting...you girls know what I'm talking about, so I decided to check one of the beauty supply places that is on the way home, to see what they had. I also wanted to check on some stuff for my nails. They had everything I needed, and I also grabbed a couple of new combs. After getting the things I needed, I called Tara-Lee to let her know I was on my way back home, and to tell her about the AC man coming, incase he got there before I did. He hadn't arrived yet.

Kirk and Tara-Lee had talked about going to Stephens Lake, and I mentioned to Moriah that we might go with them, instead of driving all the way back to Ashland. As usual, it about 3 days to payday, and the funds are getting quite low, and the car is about empty. So, spending the extra gas, didn't seem "logical", as Spock would say. aaahhaha (I'm a Star Trek fan....all of them). Then it dawned on me that Moriah had left her swim suit at Landon's. That's really the only place that she usually goes swimming, now that we go to Landon's and he has access to one. So, I definately decided that we weren't going to go. If we would have gone back for her suit...we might as well have stayed at Landon's and swam. As it was, Kirk and Tara-Lee ended up not being able to go anyway, so it wouldn't have mattered, had we had Moriah's suit, anyway.

We were able to visit with Kirk, Tara-Lee, and Eva, for awhile, till around 3. They had a couple of other things to do, and needed to be back home around 4, and then had a friend coming over. Kirk ran back a little later to pick up the laundry that had gotten done. The AC man came, and got that taken care of. Guess the unit outside was pretty dirty, and low on freon...so he cleaned and recharged it. We had a little incident...for lack of better words, with our rental company today. I'd go into detail..but as I've already written enough here to choke a horse, I'll just say, that even though we just found out today that our rents been raised...(...didn't make Lev, OR Lee, a happy camper), we may now be getting the things that are needed for the duplex, and alot of things repaired, that none of the other two landlords would ever do...regardless of how many times you told them. So, at least maybe that is a good thing. Got my hair highlighted, my nails done, so I feel like at least a little bit of something got done today. Even if most of it was for "myself". I don't pamper myself like that very often...lol It's been awhile. The perm is next in line...lol

Hope you all had a great day. It was warm here...very, very, warm... But, they say tomorrow will be a breath of fresh air...high of only 87 (not heat indexes of 107!!!!), and a 40% chance for rain, which we soooooooo desperately need. We really need an all day drencher...not a 40%....but will take WHAT EVER we can get. I'm workin' tomorrow, and Kirk and Tara-Lee are coming over for dinner. I'm sure I'll be on here sometime tomorrow night...and definately, tomorrow morning. Hope you having sweet dreams, for those who have already ended their night. Hope tomorrow is a wonderful new day for you.

Love,
Lev
