Survive raging thunderstorms, power outages and hysterical parents while their toddlers wonder
"Carri, why is a tree rolling across the parking lot"
oh please, please avoid my car
Run around like a maniac, completing my to do list by 4 pm
Fun adventure bike riding to Farmers Market
Detouring to see the ginormous trees that fell across the road, smashing cars
Sewing, packing, procuring beverages
Airport Run
Invent decorations from materials gathered from CVS
Tissue paper, wrapping paper and streamers go a long way
we may have gotten a little artistically inappropriate with this by the end of the night
The Spark of an Idea:
Wake up barely avoiding a hangover: Winner!
Count my lucky stars that I have power and a hot shower
Begin remembering just how long my work was closed last time power went out
a whole week: it took them 4 days to restore power and 1 day for cleanup
Begin wondering what am I going to do for the next few days if I don't end up working
The Moment of Rationality:
phone calls ensued
3 trusted confidants
all who sent me to voicemail
ten minutes of waiting for a return call
deciding to go ahead and pack
cause i can always unpack
one last glance at the clock
Throwing Caution to the Wind:
Hit the Road Jack, Don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more
10 miles south of Columbus my first returned phone call
the advice: do it! it'll be a blast
40 miles south of Columbus, second returned phone call
the advice: a bit more rational, but do it! Hit the road! Yay for road trips!
5 miles north of Cincy, final returned phone call
the advice: you've already left now haven't you- ha! he knows me well
Sent to the Nashville Crew along with
what are yall doing tonight?
want some company?
