Good Morning Campers!!!
I let the pressure off myself by saying I wasn't going to post everyday but you know what? I kinda miss it....I am better off when I let things out instead of bottling them up...so here I am...
The weather has been crazy here..twice in the last week we were in danger of being in the direct path of a Tornado..that means the Emergency System interrupts the regularly scheduled programming and lets you know that the chance of a Tornado is likely..this is different from the Tornado Watch that is posted on the weather channel and local channels only....when you hear that alarm going off on your TV and radio you know it's serious...twice now that has happened and it really really shook me up...I don't know why because I have lived through them before but this time they were mentioning streets not even 5 miles from here...and it's not like a Hurricane warning where you have plenty of time to leave..with a Tornado it's not safe to leave..you just have to buckle down in the safest room in your house and ride it out... last nite I went to bed too early and was awake at 3.am...and lo and behold there was a Tornado warning! I think possibly the rain and wind woke me..it was coming in sideways..I had left the Florida room windows open to let some fresh air in...so I quickly closed them and then turned the TV on and that's when I saw the warnings...most people slept through it..I would have normally...I am just glad everyone is okay and we were lucky..this time...
My friend Jen that I have talked about on here many times was admitted to the hospital last night..she has a lot of medical issues and does not take care of herself the way she should...yesterday her toes turned purple ..she is diabetic and has vascular disease in her legs...they are pretty worried about her as am I..well between the Tornadoes and Jen I have been doing some serious thinking..I need to take better care of myself and get out and exercise more...I have become too sedentary and that's not good..I am way too young to not be moving while I can...there will come a time when I can't..also the Tornado scare made me realize what's truly important to me and that is my loved ones...things are not right between my hubby and me...on the outside we seem fine but he and I both know things are bad..and I am going to make a conscious effort to put things right between us...I love him with all my heart and don't want to lose him...
So there you have it...I need to make some changes...thanks for listening..;-)

seems i've lived in what's called 'tornado alley' for 90% of my life. meaning tornados abound during spring & fall. been thru hundreds (prob more than that) of warnings,i've seen more than 1 whirling spiral, & 1 coming straight at me to turn a few blocks away & miss me. it's very scarey.
huggies...
those tornado's are scary things for sure. Keeping active is a good idea. When you're older like me you really do appreciate doing it while you can. Those days are coming fast when I won't be able to do like I do. I can't even do what I did any more. You are so right about your family being the treasures in your life. You do have to guard them with your heart.

Good morning Lyn,
I know when I lived in the apartment, I had a few tornado scares..I lived upstairs so that didn't help..Feeling a little better now that I live in a house with a basement to go too..
I hear you on getting moving..My daughter and I are working on doing just that:)
I'll keep Jen in my prayers that she is on the mend and I'll keep you and hubby in my prayers that you find your way back to each other:)
Hugs,
Sheri
Speaking from past experience, start making things right with your husband NOW. Don't plan on making changes next Thursday; do it today.
Glad you are safe.
Hi Lyn,good to read your posting again.Too true to keep more active if possible, things just seem to come along and take over you as you get older.You are willing to do alsorts but you just carn't.I wouldn't have believed anyone telling me this only a couple of years back,but it's true.I would be terrified if I was faced with a tornado,especially if I was alone.They sound and look very scary.Prayers your friend soon feels much better and the hospital get her sorted out quickly.As for you and hubby it's a personal thing love,which only you and Lester can sort out,but don't let it fester any longer.If it can be sorted sort it NOW as Mary says.Prayers all goes well for you and your friend and that no more scary tornado comes back down your way.Take Care God Bless Kath xx
I know that I need to make some changes. I need to move more and drop a few pounds. I need to spend more time with Nikki because I know that after next summer she will be some country far away.
I know that deployments har very hard, but this one is almost over and then it will be a little easier for you guys. I swore there were time when I thought Rusty and I would never make it.

I'm hoping we have a few more weeks before we start having tornado warnings! I'm glad you're okay.
Haven't been though a tornado and don't want to either.
Glad you're safe though.
Your two plans sound like really good ideas, best of luck on both.
We had a tornado about 15 miles north of us yesterday. They are so scary. I'm glad you are ok and that it put some things in perspective. I'm praying for you and hubby.
Hi Lyn...I appreciate your updating about the weather..son lives where you do..but he doesn't tell me everything....always says "it is just fine here Mom" LOL..he doesn't want to worry me..!!! and my prayers are for you and hubby to set a NEW path in the life between the two of you...one step at a time...and for blogging...right now blogging is mostly the weather which by the way stinks here in KY...snow snow snow...sheesh...lotsa schools closed..I may have to change my plans for "running around" LOL..and read a good book instead...God Bless Lyn...hugs from Ora in KY
We know all about tornadoes here in friggin' Kansas, but for now I'm dealing with weekly snowstorms.
Grrrrrrr

Tornado's are scary, no denying that! I've lived in Florida and Indiana and had to deal with them as teenager and child. Once I moved to SF and then Tacoma, I've not had to deal with those.
Sorry to hear about your friend. I know I need to move more myself. Use it or lose it, isn't that what they say? And the other thing I hear 'the magic pill' is exercise - movement. (sigh) all easier said then done when you have work that keeps you sitting.
Thanks for visiting me, it's nice knowing I'm not alone out here!
Wow. Be careful and take care of yourself!
Lyn I hope you friend is OK ~ I have never been in a Tornado and what I have heard about them I never want to ~ stay safe ~ Ally x
Just popped in to hope you are well,seeing as you havn't posted for a while.Have a good day Lyn.Thinking of you.Take Care God Bless Kath xx
