I love driving when it gets dark this time of year.  Halloween around the corner.  The leaves caught on a big gust of wind, racing across the street in your headlights.  Tights and sweaters and boots.  Braids and layers and lavender lotion.

I don't love being surprised by a hurricane in North Georgia though.  The rains were so intense that they soaked the ground and the winds were so intense that they pushed loose my neighbor's trees, right into my power line.  It's hard to tell if the weight of the fall on the line snapped the pole or if the storm did that too.  After a day of no power the power company restored power to everyone on my street, except my house.  I'm praying the power company came by with a new pole today, but I could not afford the stress of missing four days of work in one week.  I took off Monday and Tuesday to relieve work stress.  Taking Thursday off was really my only option with no power and bad roads.  So I worked from my parents house today and only worried a little about my house.  

On the plus side, I have all the free pine straw I need to put around my fence.

Music sounds so much better late at night. On a speaker. When you’re so tired you’re ready for bed, but the music is so good you don’t want to give it up. 

Man I miss live shows. In the fall. On a dark night with a full moon. Feeling alive and in love. Feeling so human.
