Alive and kickin’ friends, but sometimes life gets in the way:
Yep, that’s my house! Trunk missed by just a few feet, but we sustained some reasonably serious damage from the limbs. Rest of the neighborhood looks similarly, trees like ours are down everywhere. Luckily no one was hurt—here or elsewhere in the nearby vicinity—so praise God for that!
We’ve been without power since about 1715 on Tuesday evening, with no ETA on restoration just yet.
I spent the remaining daylight hours on Tuesday working with neighbors to clear the streets as best we could, and tweaked my SI joint pretty bad in the process: Not sure what I did, and I don’t remember feeling anything, but I woke up Wednesday morning with it being really tender—if I move just the wrong way, I get debilitating pain throughout my whole backside. It aches just sitting here, but all of the major movement patterns seem to be fine…
In any case, that’s not the reason I’ve missed training: Despite there being no visible progress—that photo was from Tuesday evening and things look exactly the same here on Friday evening—and no power, etc., there’s been a surprising amount to do to make sure we can get back on track ASAP. Hopefully things really begin to move forward here soon!
Lots more thoughts I could share, but I’m outta time here. Onward and upward, folks!
