Weather in the spring gives me terrible anxiety.
All of the storms and the alerts and the forecasts scare me. Last night there was a thunderstorm and we lost power for a few minutes. We tend to lose power easily in our neighborhood for some reason. But basically after that happened, around 1, I didn’t sleep for hours. I listened to the rain, listened for the sump pump to go off, kept convincing myself I heard my daughter (who recently has decided she’s a bit scared of thunder). All day today the Midwest has been on alert. Actually since last night there have been weather warnings for today. Most of the day was normal today, a little rain and darkness here but otherwise nothing crazy. As I was putting my oldest son to bed my phone started alarming and I assumed it was the tornado warning. It wasn’t, which is great, but instead it warned of hail and 90… NINETY miles per hour winds. I swore it was a typo but upon investigation it was not a typo at all and that was in fact the warning. I’m gearing up for another sleepless night and trying not to get too anxious already.

That’s so crazy! I am in California right now and was shocked to hear about the weather back home.
