It's about 830pm CST. It's coolish, overcast, a tad humid. I'm out on the deck, my feet up, Gaby lying (for the moment) beneath my legs. King is inside. He's had enough for the day.

I came home to find the lilies and hydrangea in bloom, and tiny tomatoes on the raised bed Siberian and Tommy Toe. The tomatoes in the pots, which looked better than the raised bed plants before I left, now look worse. I think they were overwatered, so I will give them a few days to dry out.
I had a great time at the con. It was great to see old friends and make new ones. But right now I am tired, my throat is bugging me a little, and I don't want to go to work tomorrow.
Note: well over 800K households lost power thanks to the storm. Homes a few blocks from me have no power. Half the intersections lost their lights. I found only a couple of small branches scattered about. I dodged a bullet.
