    Whew emergency is over.... The road contractors brought in a ton of heavy equipment to quickly dig trenches to keep the water from totally wrecking the road. Everyone is back in their homes with new culverts under their driveways. There is a possible issue with logging happening up higher on the mountain - many in our little community are upset that the company that has the legal cut block licences did not approach the community association with info on their plans.

    @canadijneh- glad everything ended up as well as it did!
    @sufferlandrian -They'd have to pry me off the ceiling if I drank that much caffeine! I don't see how you do it.

    The problem with being nice to people, is they come back expecting to keep taking advantage of it.

    Pretty much.

    So OT has been cut for now. Apparently we're slight over on the OT budget...by 11K. A friend of mine asked if 10K was mine...lmao. While my bank account will miss it, I'm also enjoying it. My gas tank likes it. I've been able to catch up on my housework and workouts. I also didn't realize how much stress I was feeling from working all the time.

    We put a down payment on a beach house for the end of July. It was very last minute but my hubs managed to find a nice one to house all of us and family. I'm so very ready!!!

    The weather around me was super wet the past couple days but it's cleared out and gonna be 90 this weekend.

    "Rescue" people kill me. She traps a cat and wants us to check to see if the kittens are nursing. She can't find the kittens so while she is here with a feral cat, the kittens are starving and the cat is getting stressed out which will limit the milk production and the likelihood of going back to the kittens right away.

    The problem with the caveat "Don't take this medication is you are sensitive to it." is that you never know until you take it. Lost a dog tonight that turned out to be really sensitive to the medication the regular vet prescribed to it.

    Wow! I grew up North of Seattle and we got a lot of rain, but you guys have really been hammered with rain this spring. We are supposed to start drying out over here. Any chance of that over there?

    Now we are up for a big stretch of record high temperatures which means all the snowpack in the mountains will be coming down FAST!

    You just can't catch a break this spring. With any luck, it won't be raining at the same time. Of course if you had any luck we wouldn't be talking about there.

    Do you ever have one of those nights where nothing is wrong but you just don't want to be at work? That's tonight.

    Absolutely, just want to be on your bed. Watching something you enjoy, eating your favorite snack.
