Completely Dark

Bubsy: What a week it was last week. Where should we start, sissy? Let’s rewind and talk about last Monday.

Sissy: It was a crazy week. And that eclipse Monday was quite the day. I think it lived up to the hype. 

Bubsy: It definitely lived up to the hype. So I’ll explain what happened with the eclipse. 

Sissy: No, let me cut to chase…it got dark….real dark. Like I couldn’t see my paw in front of my face. 

Bubsy: It looked like it was getting overcast at first glance then it started to get dark. That all started just after lunchtime, around 1:00. By the time 1:45 arrived it was completely dark outside. Mom was watching it all slowly happen from her classroom windows. 

Sissy: It was afternoon yet it was completely dark out. 

Bubsy: The moon moved in front of the sun and completely blocked it. Mom took some pics which will be posted at the very bottom of this blog post. Changing gears somewhat, what else went on this week? Let’s talk about the failed power. 

Sissy: Don’t get me started. 

Bubsy: So mom was on her way to work. There were lights on the streets and stoplights were working. All of a sudden mom is heading up the big bridge when she looked to the right and saw no lights. Looked to the left and no lights. Came off the bridge and no lights anywhere in front of her. 

Sissy: Everything was dark!! No signs were on. Chick-fil-a sign was dark. Kroger was dark. All stoplights were dark. Even the gas stations were dark. 

Bubsy: The power grid failed. It was a sudden blackout. 

Sissy: The power grid failed again. The state of Texas went dark. Honestly people, how does this keep happening? They have spent a zillion dollars “fixing” the power grid for a year now. And yet, things are still going dark. We’re the biggest state in the country yet we can’t figure out how to keep the lights turned on. If you visit here bring a flashlight. I’m going to spend all my piggy bank money on more flashlights.🔦 

Bubsy: At least being without power and no air isn’t too bad right now. 

Sissy: Oh geez, don’t remind me…summer is coming. Come on people, get it together. I’m definitely going to need them to get it figured out before late July. Sweating with all this long hair is not pretty. 🥵 

Bubsy: Poor sissy, it’ll be alright sis. They’ll figure it out soon….maybe. 😉 Well let’s wrap this up and go spend time with mom. She’s had a busy day. Mom went to two church services at two different churches. As she was invited to a baptism which she went to. So she got up early to go to the earliest service at her church then she went to the church where the baptism was. Dad stayed home. And even tried to talk mom out of going to the baptism.

Sissy: Mom works at a private church preschool. This is most likely the first of many baptisms she’s going to be invited to. So I’m thinking dad needs to get used to it.😉

Bubsy: Anyway, time for us to officially end this and go spend time with momma since she was so late getting home from the second church she went to today. We also need to go so we can finish our taxes, as you can see in the pic below….just kidding…we finished figuring everything. We are excellent tax preparers. 😉 Have a great week everyone!
