    So after it goes by you can double the work for 2 weeks trying to get caught up?

    That’ll probably be what happens here.

    What you guys on the East Coast are experiencing or are ABOUT to experience. Is why I live in the Midwest.
    Worst things i have to deal with are pop up tornadoes.

    Meh.. you know, if you look at the news and they pull up SC, I live right where they usually place that letter "S" on the big map.

    It's not too terrible. The coast absorbs most of it and we usually get stuck with not having to water the plants for a week or so.

    Tornadoes are ####ing terrifying! I have days of notice to get out of town if I don't want to deal with a storm. Tornadoes just show up and kill you. There's something about a 150mph sustained wind from a hurricane that makes it easier to deal with. What that is I don't know but my house is 75 years old and still standing so it's been thru a few nasty ones. Tornadoes just rip everything up and throw it around everywhere.

    This week had a lot of ups and downs, and it wore me out fast. I’m glad it’s over and looking forward to starting fresh on Monday night.

    So I'm off today and got out of bed at 1:30. I still can't help but feel like a piece of crap sleeping half the day away lol. It's about the normal time I wake up during the week so there is a reason but I still feel bad lol.

    One of daytime runs is about to become available... It's little shorter run (400 miles total) but I told my TM I'm interested. Cut time for that run is 7am.. I spoke to the guy that runs it and he says that he usually back by 3pm the latest.
