Somehow. I was just outside of Steubenville where it's a very lonely part of Route 7 and my cell phone and the emergency alert system went nuts. I was driving into the path of at least two spotted twisters. One over the mall I have to go past and the other near I-70. There's no place to shelter and no where to turn around. Luckily all I had was very heavy rain.

It's stinking hot here. I'm too tired to unpack much. My landlord promises to bring my stove tomorrow. There's a new cat on my porch and I saw a double rainbow in brilliant color right by the apartment. It feels like I never left here. I can't believe school starts next week.

I came home to find the breaker in my computer room mysteriously tripped (that made me a bit nervous) and my DISH was dead. It needed major updating from them before it would work. I'm glad I got it back because I wanted to watch Inspector Lewis.

Also the flooding in the area backed up into my toilet which is filled with mud but at least it's not all over the bathroom this time.

In good news, that cipro I had for my UTI also blitzkrieged my sinus infection. I'm feeling much better!


And let's work in a little writerly ways here. Anyone have any good agent sites they want to share? Someone was sharing them on one of my groups. I need to go find them. I was thinking about agents because I'm reading one of the things I won off Goodreads and it had an author's thank you to her agent. I was a bit stunned. This thing is practically a PWP and I can't imagine it getting an agent when I know so many of us can't get one. SIgh.

And happy belated birthday to [livejournal.com profile] lilachigh. Hope it was a good one.
