WASTED

Here's another sunset photo - just in case my previous post left you yearning for more.

Yesterday (Thursday) was a completely wasted day.

Due to the radically changing and frequently disagreeable weather here in Tennessee, I always have to carefully and strategically plan my trips to town.
If it rains I'll risk getting stuck in the mud. If it's icy, I'll likely slide off a cliff on the narrow and winding mountain road.

Thursday (yesterday) was predicted to be unseasonably warm and abnormally clear - a perfect day for a venture into town.

 I was already flustered at getting a late start and - right before I was ready to leave - my fluster turned to panic when I couldn't find my car keys.
Half an hour later I discovered them in one of my shirt pockets.

Do I have a second set of keys?
Yea. Somewhere. But I have no clue where they are.

Unfortunately, the glowing weather forecast didn't mention that there were going to be hurricane-force winds. 
For a moment I thought I was back in West Texas.

The wind was so strong that - when I got to town and crawled out of the car - I was almost blown directly into Kentucky. It was an abominable day.

To make a long story short (which was never one of my fortes) I got an incredibly bad migraine.
I always get aura migraines, which radically affect my vision.

So -
instead of doing all my grocery shopping like I planned, I only went to the bank, paid a few bills, and briefly stopped in the Dollar Store to get a couple necessary items.

Then I said
I don't give a royal rat's ass about shopping!
and I went home.

What a waste!!!

The temperature is dropping drastically tonight as I write this. It's going to be frigid today (Friday) with ice.

I'm tentatively scheduling my next trip to town sometime in mid-July.
