Yesterday about drove me completlely nuts. I love thunderstorms, don't get me wrong, however when the sirens go off because of a tornado I go into this crazy state where I have to sit in front of the TV and then make sure everyone that I'm with knows whats going on. Yesterday was prime example of that.
I was at work when the first siren went off. Had to get people inside from the gas pumps as well as from the parking lot. I sat with about 10 people in our stock room for about 30-45 minutes. It was a nice break from running a cash register. I called Clint as soon as the sirens went off to find out where he was. He was here at the house, so I told him to put HamHam (my guinea Pig) in her ball, and take her and Slinky to his mom's house that had a basement. From my work on the air force base we saw this huge cloud (i honestly don't know if it was a tornado or a wall cloud) move alond the north part of the base towards Sedalia. It looked pretty nasty and the wind was really bad. We got the all clear so things went back to normal. The best part about this whole thing was that people were still trying to come in and pay for gas and beer and whatever it is that they wanted. My Supervisor had to shut the gas pumps off because everything was trying to get gas.
Last night was the worst though. I don't know how many times the sirens went off. It seemed like from 7pm to 11:30 or so the sirens went non-stop. I didn't know it was supposed to be bad last night, so Clint and I went into Warrensburg to hang out with a few friends, leaving the animals here at the house. Needless to say when the sirens went off I got upset because the animals were not with me. Clint was really sweet about it, said that we could leave and rush home. I said that would not be a smart thing to do. So we stayed in Warrensburg. I watched the TV KCTV 5 to watch what was going on. The boys gamed in the living room. I wouldn't let my buddy Mike leave to go back to the city until everything was all cleared, which ended up not being until close to midnight.
I was so tired by the time we got back that I just crashed, and am still extremely tired at this moment. I got up at 6:15 and went and worked out this morning. I did 15 minutes of cardio on the treadmill before I worked on my leg muslces. I'm going to go 3 days a week, each day I will do the cardio and then focus on one aspect, like today was legs, Wednesday will be arms, and Friday will be my torso. I might go on Tuesday and Thursday just for the treadmill. It will depend on the weather, if i can walk outside with Slinky, then that works out better. No extra trip into Warrensburg.
It's cold today and really windy. The sun really isn't shinning, that's why I'm tired I think, the sun usually keeps me going.
