It fucken wimdy

One of the bits of tumblr brainrot that has invaded my daily life and lexicon.

But to be fair, it is, in fact, fucken wimdy.

Worse yesterday than today, and probably slightly less bad tomorrow.

The record yesterday was up in Fraser, CO with a 116mph gust! Too much!

Last night, the power went out a couple times, though it always came back on within a minute or so. Tonight hasn't included more power flickering, so at least that bit has probably passed. And while there are still some gusts, at least the windows aren't shifting disconcertingly.

I am tired as hell, so I think tonight is going to be an attempt to plow through my 500 words/day (early - usually I've been finishing it sometime after 11:30) and either take a bath or just go to bed early.

Reminds me of these floofy doggos. They look less perplexed (or more resigned?) than the fox by how windy it is.

Hope you're safe and that you get some rest. :)

Those dogs are hilarious XD They do seem maybe a bit resigned. Just "oh no, this is happening now."

Thank you! I did get at least some better rest last night.

That is the speed of an F2 tornado according to the Fujita Scale of Tornado Intensity.
Do you have some strategic candles and flashlights around the house? I do but I have a weird curse now that every flashlight I pick up inside my house - regardless if the batteries were changed last year or last week - will flicker in a horror movie fashion, responding to shakes and thumps a few times.
What's more, the UV light are the same shape, size and even look the same as the other flashlights so if it goes dark, I can snatch up a light and have a 55% chance of suddenly plunging into crime scene mode, noticing someone's piddled in a corner.
Again.

I'm amazed you get through even 100 words a day. I find writing so tough sometimes. I try to focus it like "Today is just this script's moment." but I never stick to it.
I'm like George RR Martin talking to you as Stephen King How the fuck do you write so many books so fast?!

I didn't realize that was quite into F2 intensity! Yikes, definitely too much wind! (Loads of tipped semis along the highways, even where the gusts were "only" in the 70-80mph range.) No thanks!

We have some flashlights... and ALL of them need new batteries. Somehow. Do we ever remember damn batteries? No. We do have some candles, though! It kind of seems like flashlights are just made for that kind of horror movie effect, though. I'm not sure I've ever had a flashlight that didn't succumb.
(Kinda love the UV flashlight as a random chance for you, though.)

Writing consistently has been a struggle for me. Even now when I've been doing pretty good, breaking the habit for even a single night can completely derail me. I went through months where I wasn't able to write much, and other stretches where 10-20 words per day was an accomplishment. I'm a fan of "any progress is good progress", even if it's not as much as I want it to be.
Youtube tells me the video is private, but would that any of us could be as consistently prolific as Stephen King, lmao

Dude musta changed the setting after I found it. It was a small tidbit from this GLORIOUS Interview that is one of the best hours you will spend in front of a computer. So that link is to the full one and you'll love it. It's basically George RR Martin interviewing Stephen King on a stage.

Oooh, thank you for the link! Definitely adding that to my watch later.

Holy moly, that is fucken wimdy!

It is SO fucken wimdy!

We have had some very fucken wimdy weather all through March and part of April already. Crazy fucken wimdy here.

According to one radar image, some of our dust from Colorado made it down to Texas with the wind. Sorry about that, lol

But it has been very fucken wimdy.

Honestly, we've had so much wind and therefore so much dust that it's been hard to tell Texas dust from Colorado dust, so all's good, fam. That and most of the cars are green right now from tree sperm, so life's just one big cough dry juice day after another.

Haha, we're getting close to tree jizz season. Not quite there yet, but it's... uh... coming.

The sniffly allergy stuff has already started, even though the pollen isn't even close to full-force yet.

Tree jizz season in the Hill Country of Texas brings so much different tree jizz. People's allergies are already going nuts. I take two different OTC allergy pills (one in the morning, one at night), and that seems to stave off the worst of it for me, but I still have moments. I need to take my car for a bath, though, but it's like...it's just going to get covered again at some point.

~Variety jizz~. Yeah, allergy season has already started here, though it hasn't really hit full swing yet. Mild sniffles and itchy eyes. Even non-drowsy allergy meds can make me drowsy, so I try not to take them during the day when I have to be at work.
Oh, our poor truck has so much grime on it from the backsplash during all the snow. We've had so many storms it doesn't feel worth giving it a bath. But we probably should.

The two I take are generic Zyrtec (morning) and generic Claritin (night). Neither of them make me drowsy, which is good. They just make it so that I don't spend all day stuffy and all morning coughing up drainage and feeling ready to just puke up a lung.

I don't think I've tried Zyrtec. Claritin does sometimes seem to make me drowsy, even though it's not supposed to! That one we do have at home though, so I'll take it if things are getting too miserable. Because ugh.
