Thunderstruck!!!

I don't like being woken up by noises. It freaks me out, there's a kind of panic stricken "eep!" type reaction, even when it's something fairly innocuous. Unless it's my phone, in which case I usually say something more colorful.

So anyway, there was thunder, glorious, beautiful, nature's majectic brilliance thunder & lightning last night. I fell asleep to it happily, with the window open a crack so I could hear it and have some air exchange. At 4 something-ish in the a.m. I shot upright from sleeping by the loudest thunder I've heard since living at the Mill. Now, it's important to understand that generally I can't hear or feel the rumble of thunder in our home. The walls to the outside are really thick, this was a factory, so it's not like at our old house where everything would shake and stuff. But the Mill does have fabulous 4'x10' windows, perfect for viewing lighning in all it's brilliance.

Anyway, so I rocketed out of bed, closed the window, recovered from the adrenaline rush and went back to sleep to the gentle rumble of thunder (now that the window was closed, see, this place is really sturdily built). I do so love thunder & lightning. I was actually happy to have been woken to see, hear, and feel it. Woohoo!

Decisions, flooring, bag

If there's one thing the whole condo buying experience has taught me, it's that I have little to no decision making skills in relation to some things. What I want versus what I can have, or something in between. What I really want is a home worthy of the Extreme Homes show, but that will be a long time in coming, if ever. There are too many other things that I also prioritize. And maybe that's the problem, I have no rank of priorities. Everything just seems important, or not important at all. There's no order.

Went to look at flooring. Not a good thing. I can picture liking many of them, most of them expensive. But trying to picture them in the condo is not as easy as I'd thought. What is the overall look I want? Hard to say. You know why??? Because I like a variety of stuff and have no decision making skills!!! At the moment, I'm leaning towards real wood, bamboo flooring. It's pretty funky looking. But then there's the other, more price conscious part of my brain saying, "idiot! shut up and get the damn laminate flooring!!!" It's very tiresome. I think I'm going to stop thinking about it until after I actually own the place and have ripped the rug up and painted. Yeah, that's it.

Oh, and my damn bag snagged my shirt with it's evil velcro things. It's not right! I love the bag, but the velcro is pissing me off bigtime. I actually bought another bag, but this one is water resistant, and since we seem to be in the deluge, I've kept using it. MEH!!!

Wait, wait, don't let the bandwagon go!!!
