We jumped into our Saturday morning tasks with abandon. We didn’t walk because of the massive amount of thunder and lightning. Can’t dodge bolts like we used to.
Instead, Chris bathed Freddy. My job was to vacuum. Freddy acted a little strange when I turned the machine on. Usually she takes off and runs to another room. This time she just slowly changed from one cushion of the couch to the next before she finally jumped down.
And then, as I prepared to head to the office, I glanced back. She was having another seizure. Chris was Johnny-on-the-spot, though. She comforted Freddy as only she can. Fortunately, this one didn’t last long. She was noticeably tired afterward, though. So was Freddy (tee-hee!).
We made a dash over to Walmart. Supposed to be a quick grab of some Capstar, a flea med for the dogs. We also planned to get some steps in. Well, we waited too long to do any effective walking. Too many people. And they didn’t have the dog stuff. We did get to see our lawyer out of uniform, though (no suit and tie). A pleasant connection there.
We had to go to plan B for the Capstar. PetsMart. That meant bravng 61st Street on Memorial Weekend Saturday. Not a fun prospect on the best of days. Fortunately, this was not the best of days. The rain and prospects of even more certainly took its toll on the tourist trade. We managed to get what we needed and head back home fairly quickly.
Meanwhile, the clouds grew more and more ominous. Darker and darker. Closer and closer. They seemed to be just offshore and bearing down. I definitely would not want to go to the beach. The bottom did finally drop out of the sky around 1:30 or so. Freddy wasn’t at all happy about it. And it continued throughout the evening. Galveston stayed under a flood warning all evening.
Acts 1:8 says, But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
Father, keep all the folks safe who have to be out in bad weather like we’ve been having. Amen.
