Something incredibly close to our house was hit by lightening last night. It was close enough to cause the loudest lightening noise I've heard and to make everything shake in our house. Apparently it was also enough power surge to kill both our cable modem and the receiver for our entertainment system (despite being on expensive suppressors). Ah well, it could have been our house that the thing hit instead.
The weekend was nice and went by too quickly as usual. We skipped Xmortis on Friday so that we could spend a night together, went to a terribly boring convention on Saturday that we had committed to do http://www.cauldroncon.com , and spent yesterday around the city running errands, doing things around the house that have needed getting done for quite a while. We saw the family for a bit on Friday and Sunday.
We also checked out the official new opening of the Hannaford Supermarket yesterday (formerly known as Victory, formerly known as Shaws, formerly known as the Waltham Supermarket) where they had tons of free goodies to try, bands, magicians and Richie's Slush. ( Read more... )
On the budget note, I think I'm going to for the meantime just focus on generally 'getting things in order' for a while and stick with the car I have. ( Read more... )
I'm hitting the gym for pilates class tonight after work and hopefully we'll get to see the http://www.movingwallwaltham.org/ before it goes away. I know this cool weather won't be lasting too long, but I'll try and savor it while its here.
