So now that I’ve got all the other out of the way, a little post about things good and bad, but neither of which have anything to do with how poor I am or Michael Jackson.
Bad - the heat. My car registered 107 degrees the other day. I think it got down to 105 by the time I got from Kroger back to the house. The heat index was 113 that same day. It’s been like this for about a week and is not supposed to break at all until after Tuesday – there’s two spots of rain in the forecast between then and now, but I don’t have much hope it’s really going to happen (it’s rained in Nashville and Knoxville a couple of times the past week or so, but not a drop here). I have been in discussions online on and off with friends from all over the country (and the world, for that matter) this past week and I don’t care how cold you are or how sick of rain you are – I’ll trade. Immediately.
More Bad – Little has had another bout of old age vestibular disease this week, which some may recall this time last year I was dealing with that with both her and Dobie at almost the same time. Dobie’s was much more pronounced and took a much longer time for recovery; with her, once again by the next day she was better and is continuing to do better. She’s a 17 or 18 year old cat (I can never remember which year she arrived as a baby) so these things are to be expected, but it’s like a stroke and it’s so frightening and unnerving – I think even more so with cats, since they like to get in higher places and the first couple of days she flatly tossed herself off her perch and scared me to death. But she is much better now. I am starting to wonder if this is heat-related, though I read a pretty voluminous amount of information on the syndrome last year (both canine and feline related) and don’t recall any mention of that.
Good - my Rite Aid box fan. I’d forgotten about that thing. I bought it a few years ago when the AC went out and was having to be replaced. After several days of the above heat already come this past Tuesday, and then reading that it wasn’t going to break at all until maybe next Wednesday, I thought I was probably going to be suicidal come the weekend. I have air, but my window unit that usually does a pretty decent job in the summertime just can’t handle this kind of heat and for this extended a period.
Then I remembered the box fan. I would have NEVER guessed it would make the difference it has, but it has. Granted, really over here in my one little corner in the room with the computer and Internet, but that’s where I am almost all the time anyway. In the afternoon after noon or 1:00 or so, it’s still getting a little stuffy in here – but NOTHING like the completely intolerable horrific awful heat it was before I got the fan out. Much, MUCH better. And I’ve even been COLD sometimes in the early mornings or middle of the night this week and had to turn it off. Rock!!!
Even More Good – In their old age, and especially as Dobie’s health went into the serious decline it did the last year or so of his life, Dobie and Lulu both developed some incontinence problems – especially Dobie. Though it’s still very hard to believe he’s gone and makes me sad, one kind of unexpected plus has popped up since his passing – even though they turned five years old last month, I really had no idea that the young’ns are as well house trained as they apparently are! They’re not perfect – with me living alone and my sleeping schedule being all out of whack and not really a schedule, on the off chance I actually do sleep a whole lot and probably more than I should instead of my usual three or four hour catnaps here and there, occasionally there’s an accident, but rarely. They are, for all practical purposes, beautifully housetrained! Daisy doesn’t surprise me because she’s perfect anyway (heh), but it is kind of shocking to me just how well her brothers are.
On the one hand, it’s a pleasant surprise to discover just how really well trained that way they are when, with them, I never really did even try all that hard when they were very young because I was still working out of the house and not here a lot. On the other hand, that makes Dobie’s frequent accidents (even long before he ever got sick) a little frustrating seeing as how I DID make an effort with him when he was young. Go figure.
In any case, hope everyone has a great weekend! I have been so pitifully socially deprived working around the clock so much, I’m really looking forward to meeting up with KathyT and Melissa on Sunday, so more on that later in the weekend or Monday, I’m sure.

So, here I sit on the western side of the state, where there hasn’t been a raindrop all day, once yet again witnessing on Twitter while all my friends in Nashville are Tweeting about the tornadoes/storms/whatever coming through there once yet again. Deja vu.
Of course, we just had our own little dance with straight line winds last Friday that took out a good bit of Memphis greenery, and again on Sunday. I had not gotten out of the house since before the weekend, and was quite shocked yesterday to discover a tree about the size of my house fully uprooted and laying in the yard of someone’s home around the corner from me and about six or seven houses down, not to mention the landscape dotted with trees through roofs of various houses on my route to the grocery store. There wasn’t, like, this massive and constant scene of destruction like with Hurricane Elvis or the infamous ice storm of ‘94, but there was at least one house on every street between my house and Kroger that had (or had had) a tree stuck in its roof.
As for Middle Tennessee, the wrath of Mother Nature is still winding its way through and I’m watching various friends Tweeting and checking in either to say everything’s okay, or they’re headed for cover, or it’s passed and look at this poor demolished tree in Aunt B.’s yard. (She’s more upset about the power being out, though, as would I be – it’s frickin’ hot down here for June right now.)
I don’t know what’s worse – being smack in the middle of one, or watching like this from afar when people you care about could be in danger. Well, I do know what’s worse, but they’re both pretty bad. My mom can probably relate to the latter – I’m sure the 15-20 minutes or so between the first call and my second call to her wasn’t fun the night I got stuck in one of Tennessee’s most severe tornadoes of all time. First I called her from the interstate to ask if they were saying on TV there was a tornado warning; 20 minutes or so later, I was calling back to report I was okay, save for my tornado-pummeled and totaled car with the completely cracked windshield.
I did agree with a commenter somewhere or another on one of the Memphis media sites that it was rather laughable how the tornado sirens in the center city went off AFTER the storm had passed through on Friday.
Glancing at Twitter again. Aunt B. reporting that her neighbor’s car is under a tree. Fun, fun.
Quote that made me giggle of the day: @jimreams (the entity formerly known as the Nashville Knucklehead): I’m glad I live in South Nashville. Tornadoes don’t speak Spanish.

In my back bedroom: a very scared and (was anyway) still shaking black & white cat, who presumably thought he would never eat again during his 24+ hours away from home, as he has now in the last three hours eaten a can of Fancy Feast, a can of tuna, and a significant amount of dry cat food.
I really thought he was probably gone for good, after having been out looking around for him dozens of times in this unbelievably cold and freezing weather we’re having since last night.
I know I talk about the cats AND the dogs like they’re babies, and talk about them to an eye-rolling, sighing, “she’s talking about the damned cats again” point and often – but this was not quite like when my Mom’s 20 year old cat went on a two-week vacation in her neighborhood. As worried as we were, that was mainly because she was old and had been sickly – but Snow had lived outdoors many years before I rescued her and sent her home with my Mom.
I’ve long suspected Tojo to be one of those cats who was taken away from his mother too early as a kitten (they tend to exhibit certain signs), and based on what I knew of his past history – other than the night of my car wreck when I found him again and brought him to my house, I don’t really think that cat has ever been outdoors in his life.
AND though I live on a quiet, dead end street, I live just a few steps away from one of the busiest streets in the city.
Anyway, I had pretty much given up and resigned myself to never seeing him again. He’s never been outdoors, he doesn’t know the neighborhood, it’s freezing, busy street – etc. Kept telling myself that maybe he had found another place with nice people petting him and feeding him – he may be psycho, but he’s also very, very friendly – etc.
So I went out one last time tonight, shortly after midnight and taking the dogs out for the last round before morning, and walked around a little bit. Saw nothing, was freezing, turned around to head back in the house.
Then there was this flash of white up the way, zooming across a neighbor’s driveway. So I went in that direction until I saw what I knew was a cat, but really couldn’t see it in the dark, huddled against the front of their house. But I was pretty sure it was him, even though I couldn’t really see him.
The first time he came to me and I tried to grab him, I was unsuccessful and off he went again – though not far.
So I just sat down on the ground and talked to him until he came back, and petted him until he was a little bit more calm – and finally grabbed him and took him home. Thank goodness, because I probably would still be out there sitting in their yard in the dark and turning into an icicle waiting for him to come to me, because there was just no way I was going back to the house without him this time.
He really was scared to death, apparently (a situation probably not helped by the neighbor’s dog wandering around the last two nights). After giving him some food and some time on his own in his room to chill, two hours later when I let him back out in the house among the rest of us and picked him up and held him for a while, he was very uptight and rigid, and still shaking like a leaf.
Which is just so NOT Tojo. Tojo is afraid of NOTHING, not even Petey, who is ten times his size. Before tonight, the thought of him scared and shaking like a leaf would have just been preposterous.
Anyway, he’s a little dirty, but he’s okay and he’s home. Pretty soon, I’m going to go crawl in the bed like I always do back there, with him under the covers when it’s cold, and hopefully we will BOTH get a good night’s sleep this time.
I couldn’t bring myself to go to sleep back there last night, and slept out here at the desk in the chair instead. I suspect he either didn’t sleep at all, or didn’t sleep very well last night, either.

And can I just say this 101 degree weather is totally for the birds*?
My poor window unit acts like it’s going into heart failure every day about 3 or 4 in the afternoon lately.

I should probably put some gas in my car and drive to Nashville tonight, because it’s been like 90-something degrees here for days (my car’s outside temp gauge on Sunday read 101), and some snow and ice might be nice for a change.
Duh.
(HT: nitweet @ Twitter and Nashvillest)
On another note – does anyone know what’s happened to Short&Fat? I am still in Rex L. withdrawal and now this disappearance of S&F has me pouting.

I think once you’ve been smack dab in the middle of a tornado – for instance, separated from one only by the roof, windshield, and rest of the body of your car – you develop sort of a special and strange kind of empathy when people and places you know well (or the place where you got caught in one before) are in danger , or in the middle, of one of those scary mothers coming down from the skies.
Even though the forecasts were trumpeting potential gloom and doom for West Tennessee yesterday and last night, the storms we’ve had the last couple of days in this area were sometimes a little nasty but nothing very out of the ordinary. We had some more early this morning, but other than the fact that my new neighbors’ car alarm goes off EVERY SINGLE TIME it thunders or there’s lightning – and I’m not kidding – most of it’s been, like, meh. And right now in Memphis it’s sunny again and bright (too bright).
Yet at the same time, now, one of my two home counties and a neighboring one just had a tornado warning, though I’ve not heard of anything having happened yet.
And even more to the point, lighthearted and flatly hysterically funny chatter in my Twittersphere this morning has given way to worried and concerned Tweets from my Nashville and Middle Tennessee friends and acquaintances as what looks to be a potentially very dangerous storm system moves into the area. I’m witnessing it all in near-real time, from their points of view, and it’s really as concerning and nearly frightening to me as if I’m right this minute sitting in Ginger’s or Slarti’s or Busy Mom’s laps, or in the newsroom with Christian.
And now, as I write this, it’s a few minutes later and I am breathing a little sigh of relief reading that Rachel and her co-workers have been let back out of the basement, and everyone else sounding a little less cautious too.
With one exception – news via NIT of a confirmed tornado in Lawrence County. I don’t know too much about Lawrence County, and I’m racking my brain to remember whether I know any bloggers or anyone else in Lawrence County, so it’s a little different now… but just a little.
I know what that tornado looks and sounds like, exactly. And I know what it’s like to think okay, am I getting out of this alive? And I know what it feels like, the helpless feeling when you finally realize there’s not a darn thing you can do but wait and see. And I know that even though it’s usually only a matter of minutes, it feels more like hours.
Agonizing, horrifying hours. There is absolutely nothing in the world like it, not that I’ve ever experienced, and hope to never have to again.
Arrival time in Lewisburg 12:45 p.m., they’re saying. One minute from now as I write. I hope everyone in its path stays safe.

(1) Skittles Chocolate Mix – Well, I’m a big fan of Skittles in general (especially the Sour and Tropical), but as many know, I’m not a big fan of chocolate. (It’s “okay”.) So I wasn’t really expecting to like Skittles’ new Chocolate Mix that much, but I sure did expect to like it more than I do. With flavors like S’mores, Vanilla, Chocolate Caramel, Chocolate Pudding, and Brownie Batter, you would just think they’d be better than they are. The Brownie Batter ones make me cough. Real chocolate fans will probably love them though.
(2) Dogs with Little Dreadlocks – Enough said about that, but if it would just (A) stop turning cold or (B) stop raining…
(3) No No No No NO Tornadoes! - Speaking of the above, it’s a gorgeous day out right now and feels REALLY nice outside even though it’s about 100 degrees in my house, and I am so sick of rain. So the news from Channel 2 Weather this morning regarding potential tornado activity here in the west is a bummer, and I don’t deal well with the sirens nowadays. Go away, tornadoes, shoo!
(4) The Beanie Army – Tojo, my cat who terrorizes the rest of the house and lives in the guest bedroom otherwise (but he’s such a sweetie when it’s just me and him), has a new project going too, I noticed. As I’ve mentioned before, since no other animals in the house want to be friends with him, he has made all of my old Beanie Baby and Teenie Beanie cats and dogs that were back in the bedroom his only friends. (As Churlita called him, he’s “resourceful” like that.) Yesterday I noticed he’s got them all lined up, almost in single file, down one entire side of the bed back there. I wonder what this means?
(5) In Hiding – Also, wonder where I put my W-2 and 1099? Hmm.

(1) Somebody (Jag? Aunt B.? I can’t find it now) wrote about these a while back and I was covetous and waiting for them to appear on Memphis grocery store shelves. Finally they have, and now I can NOT stop eating them because they are the best thing EVER:
(2) I just got back from a 24-hourish trip to Birmingham. I drove through a monsoon in Mississippi to get there. Got there and Alabama was, like, sunny and warm and had been all day. Today it was like 78 degrees and felt as humid as any June day in Tennessee. I get back to Memphis and not only am in rain again but immediately have to change into a sweatshirt because I’m freezing. Grrr.
(3) Trying to decide if I should be worried about Dobie having eaten a few Nair wax strips, but considering all the other dangerous, ridiculous, and just plain gross things he has ingested in his 13 years on the planet, I think probably not.

Yeah, that tree and those bushes are usually not on the ground like that. And in almost 20 years of living in this house I have NEVER seen that fence look like it does today. Brrrr.

So did Super Tuesday actually happen yesterday? Because there was no talk of anything on the news here yesterday except this tornado, that tornado, the next tornado, and the one after that, and etc., etc., etc. Starting about 4:30 pm and well after midnight, on at least one local station that was virtually it.
Living in the center of the city, I’m usually protected ‘cos the main danger zones in the Metro Memphis area tend to be out in the ‘burbs. Still, I didn’t sleep last night because nowadays, when the sirens start going off, my adrenalin rush just gets out of this world (and if you’ve never been here before or have forgotten, this is why).
There was some damage not too far away though, out in the airport area; lots of damage out in the eastern suburbs and across the state line in DeSoto County, Mississippi; and probably the most stunning, for here, was the 50-foot chunk of wall taken out of Hickory Ridge Mall down in Southeast Memphis. Kid sister and her hubby lived not too far from there, just south of Germantown, until they moved a couple of years ago, so for once, I was actually happy they are now living in Nebraska. Otherwise last night would have been even more horrifying and frightening.
Though there was plenty going on here last night to freak out about, I found myself much more affected by the news of the tornado that blitzed the north part of Jackson, Tennessee, about an hour northeast. The damage was huge in many spots up there, most notably the demolition of a/some dormitory building(s) at Union University.
Why would that affect me so much more than what was happening right here in my own back yard? Because when I got caught on the road in my car during the 2003 tornado that hit Jackson, I was pretty much right there by Union University. No matter that I was basically safe at home an hour away, last night in my little house in front of the computer, listening to and watching the live stream of the continuing weather update on one of the local stations. When they said a tornado had touched down in Jackson and said where, I knew exactly what it looked like up there at that moment, ‘cos I’d been there, right there in it.
I guess I’m always gonna be a little more freaked out by bad storms and the sirens, but for a moment or two, that really, really bothered me last night. Glad I wasn’t out in it all, here nor there, but just hearing about them now in places I know – and especially that one twister in particular, striking right there where I was that night in 2003 – it’s just kinda bone-chilling.
On another note, thanks to everyone who stopped by and left such kind words about Rocky yesterday, including some I haven’t heard from in years and years. Very much appreciated, all of you. I left out one little part yesterday I meant to throw in there, so bear with me a sec and I’ll stop talking about it soon enough.
Like most of my zoo, Rocky was a foundling. My neighbor who lived here for years came home from work one day a little over ten years ago, and when he got out of the car, there was this little tiny orange kitten in the small tree right above the driveway mewing at him. So of course he immediately knocked on my door, orange ball of fur in hand.
And because there is an invisible sign on my forehead that only cats and dogs can see that says “SUCKER”, the little orange furball never left. Seems like only yesterday, and when he was so sick and old and leaving us, that’s really all I kept thinking about, that day years ago.
Well, that’s it for the moment, I’m so tired I’m about to drop dead, so I’m off for now. Tomorrow maybe I’ll write about my Christmas adventures. It’s not a pretty tale.
P.S. Again on tornadoes – does Knuck have the right idea? ‘Cos what if the tornado hits your house, but doesn’t really blow it up and just does some damage but nothing fatal to you or the house, and then you ARE wandering like that, and then you’re, like, this naked guy wandering around Nashville post-tornado, and…
It’s really still too early in the morning for me to ponder this. Smiley will have the punchline I’m too exhausted to come up with right now, I just know it.

We just had a righteously major storm come through the central city here in Memphis a few minutes ago. It got a little bit scary for a few minutes. I think there’s more storm action on the way today/tonight (and this one’s not quite over yet) as well as more predicted tomorrow, which was supposed to be the worst weather day.
The good: The temp dropped 11 degrees within minutes, which has just made my life a little bit easier to deal with at present.
The potentially very bad: You know that if we get any hail, I’m going to be inconsolable.

Hodgepodge of unrelated, mostly gripey stuff to top off the weekend…
I have been talking up the California trip so much in delaying and delaying posting about it that it’s going to be totally anticlimactic by the time I ever actually DO write about it. But there are a lot of little details I don’t want to miss and links I want to link and stuff, so forgive me while I postpone it again until next week.
Finished figuring up my taxes and while it wasn’t really that much of a surprise, it’s frustrating and aggravating and disappointing. Unmarried folks who don’t make all that much to begin with and have to live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to make ends meet shouldn’t be getting slammed with these kinds of tax bills. Other folks too, I know. It just really makes me kind of angry to have to be considering dropping the second job(s) I do in order to try to make ends meet because I get slammed with so much in taxes by working a second or third job. I mean, that’s crazy, right? Anyway, so bah humbug but at least it’s over and done with all but for the filing. (And for anyone who doesn’t know, the deadline is actually April 17th this year instead of the 15th.)
I have been nominated something like three or four times now for this Thinking Blogger thing that’s going around, which I find kind of amusing (though certainly humbled and appreciative) because I’m like one of the biggest off the top of my head, fly by the seat of my pants bloggers I know… if the thought crosses my mind, it usually gets written, but I don’t think that necessarily constitutes real thinking by any definition of the word. Every once in a while I’ll get some idea (that’s usually something funny, a joke, whatever) that gets a little more thought put into it but like I said, usually, if a thought crosses my mind, it comes right out just like that. As my boyfriend has said about me and his mother, we have committees in our heads that talk right out of our mouths (and in my case, type right out of my fingers too).
Anyhow, well, there’s that, and I’m supposed to pass this along by listing five bloggers for the same Thinking Blogger thing, but just about everyone I would have immediately listed has already been named by others, in some cases several times already. So I think I am going to hold off on this until next week when I have more time, and probably sift through and pull out some of the non-local bloggers that I can’t go day without reading. So I will get to that, but just not right this minute.
My black eye is looking a LITTLE better, and I am finally starting to sort of see light at the end of the tunnel after being sick for, what, two weeks now. I am definitely better and much less congested, but I would like for the congestion to go away now, thanks. And the cough, which is just hanging on and won’t go away. It’s like, sheesh, what is this, TB? The plague? Ugh. When I was a preteen and used to be a really voracious reader – I read fast, so I used to read a LOT when I had time for things like that – there were two or three or four books I read around the same time that were set in the days of the first world war and suffragettes and whatnot, and there was always some pitiful young female character that was about on her deathbed throughout the whole book – in all of them! – with tuberculosis or influenza, and before the book was through, they always died, but women got the right to vote so it was all okay in the end. What that means I don’t know, but I definitely identify with that whole laying on one’s deathbed coughing up a lung kind of thing right about now. If I could just vacuum out my head and chest, everything would be okay.
Anyway, I’ve got somewhere to be the rest of the weekend, so ciao for now and catch up with all of you lovely people on Monday, if I don’t drown in a flash flood on my way to wherever, seeing as how the rain doesn’t seem to want to stop and that weird thunder is still going on. It’ll thunder, like, once, and then stop, and not do it again for like an hour and a half, and I’m just sitting here thinking, you know, just let’s have a great big huge storm and get it OVER with already.
Yeah. So, well, ciao and later and all that.

I know blogging about the weather sucks, so I apologize. But this storm we are having here in Memphis tonight is just plain weird.
The thunder sounds funny and just doesn’t SOUND right, the lightning in the sky looked bizarre last time I was out, the rain is weird, and the whole shebang just keeps going on and on and on. And, it’s freakin’ COLD. I just had to pull the heater out of retirement once again.
Bleh. And why haven’t I made myself a graphic yet with the “no” symbol & a funnel cloud? Must get on that.

Just so you know, I have now ditched the sweatshirt, because it is sooo warm today.
Ironically, the t-shirt I had on underneath? Yep, blue.
I hope I don’t fall asleep early again tonight and Rachel has a new blog to play with in the morning. Finally. No thanks to my slowpokey butt.
I think I might try those tofu corn dogs Smiley wrote about for lunch/dinner today.
See, you really needed to know all this. You just didn’t know it ’til now.

So.
Was this the Horrible Severe Scary Extreme Dangerous Weather Day in Tennessee That Wasn’t, or what?
I don’t know about our friends in Nashville right now – who were in the real expected danger zone that Memphis really wasn’t – but I got sunshine, 60-ish degrees, and birds singing outside my window.
What about you?
UPDATE & P.S.: I don’t want my tongue-in-cheek sarcasm about Tennessee’s failure to live up to today’s weather predictions to discount at all the horrible tornado damage and injuries and deaths that are currently being reported by our neighbors to the south in Alabama. My ex’s stepmother’s family is in Enterprise, Alabama, which has just been devastated this afternoon, and Mr. Edge is just outside Birmingham, where there are reported touchdowns of tornadoes in the area currently as I type. Certainly thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected.
