It's storming here, and given that the power is flickering, I think I'm on borrowed time with this blog update. So, should this little ditty appear unfinished, you know why! Hopefully my house will not be on fire simultaneously, but who really knows.

We spent a wonderful 4th of July in South Carolina with the Hinman side of the family. Hurricane Arthur paid a small visit, but thankfully we were driving to South Carolina the whole time he was letting loose. We made it just in time to take a late afternoon stroll on the beach and watch the fascinating clouds left behind. My children have become quite the little beach rats (yay, no complaints there!) so we spent the majority of the time soaking up some sand (or gallons of it in Simon's case) and surf. I'd like to say sun, but it didn't completely cooperate. Steve also managed to snap one of the boogie boards completely in half in the wild (it was pretty rough) surf. Have you ever seen that happen? I certainly haven't - it was pretty dramatic! Luckily he was fine and we all had a good laugh over it.

We've spent most of this week getting back into our groove. Lots of laundry, picking up and general errand running. I had treatment yesterday, not really much to report there. I do get a little tired of the looks I get sometimes in the chemo lounge. I'm not sure if it's because I'm significantly younger than everyone there or that I look completely healthy or maybe both. Oh, and I have also achieved VIP status with the nurses in the chemo lounge, which is awesome! But, as someone who has spent two and a half years there, it's nice to feel loved ;) and appreciated. Also, my darling children were fighting so loudly over a plastic stethoscope (we love all things medical up in this hizzy) on Wednesday, that I turned on the vacuum so I couldn't hear them. Isn't angry cleaning the best kind? I feel like it's so much more efficient and therapeutic!

Stella just informed me she turned on the lights. I looked up from typing and realized that's it dark outside... at 5pm. So, I'm going to sign off here and check the weather (as if it's not obvious it's going to do something dramatic outside). Pretty sure I'm right in the fact that this storm is escalating in the wrong direction. Batten down the hatches people, I think we're about to get quite the southern summer storm. I hope this mess clears out before the supermoon event tonight. Total weather geek, at your service!!
