finally watched that "Definitely, Maybe" movie. Very cute. fluff, but, cute and i liked it a lot. Chick flicky love story stuff. perfect for a cloudy-about-to-rain lazy saturday.
it's supposed to storm out - in fact, right now it's thundering out... and there's a "hail warning".
hail.
that doesn't mix well with Phooka.
he's never had to deal with a hailstorm in the 3 years that i've had him. i really don't want him to deal with one now.
since i live in the condo complex, we only have parking spots, not garages.
this isn't good during hailstorms.
part of me thought "well, you could drive down the street to the old bank that's closed and just hang out under their drive-thru overhang until the hail passes". but, i'm not going to prematurely go do that nor am i going to drive there IN a hailstorm.
soooooooo... what am i doing?
i've got my eyes peeled for any sort of ice chunks that may fly through the air and the minute one touches down, i'm grabbing the comforter/bed spread that i have next to the front door and i am running out to Phooka and going to cover him with it ---- and since it will probably blow off, i think (in the event of hail) i will take one for the team and sprawl out on top of the comforter and on the bonnet of my car to make sure he's okay.
(of course, i am praying there's no hail... because, personally, i don't want my back and legs and arms to be bruised. nor do i want a softball sized hail chunk to crash through my skull.)
** then again, i COULD grab the giant umbrella from the patio table and hold it over both Phooka and myself... no, wait, i'd probably get hit by lightning by holding a 9 foot rod of metal. (yeah, i know. laying on TOP of a metal car isn't smart either.)
*** Phooka is too wide to fit through my doorway, dammit.
**** maybe if i lay UNDER the comforter while on Phooka's bonnet (that means hood in MINI speak) I would save him AND myself from hail bruises.
***** it's times like these that i kinda miss having my old $500 post office JEEP that was pretty much made of iron and didn't dent.
****UPDATE 6:14pm**** so far, no hail.
