I can't work under these conditions....

[patelyne]

Now I realize this isn't quite on par with the freaky orange dust storm that Australia had, BUT this is not moving weather. Especially when we only had the pickup to use until RLBF gets to borrow the furniture truck from his work (tomorrow I think).

So consider these pictures my excuse for why we only moved two loads of boxes this weekend:







This is a valid excuse, right?

Oh that is nuts.

And to think I thought that it raining on the painters Saturday morning was the worst possible luck!

[luvinthe88and20.livejournal.com]

Famous last words.

Hopefully the stuff in the air tames down soon.

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

The dust is now more white than yellow, I've about given up on today though. We'll just be working double time after work tomorrow I think.

[luvinthe88and20.livejournal.com]

Well that's good.

They might be the best bet with the dust.

[candybree.livejournal.com]

It most definitely is a valid excuse!

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

You used the icon, so I know you mean it :D

[candybree.livejournal.com]

I ALWAYS mean what I say to you.

Unless I don't mean it. But that usually has to do with *shudder* Gwack *shudder* or not liking/loving you.

but yeah, I ALWAYS mean what I say to those I love.

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

So you always mean what you say except for the times you don't? That clears things up :P
Love you anyway

[candybree.livejournal.com]

It clears things up because *points to icon* CFSS!

I love you, I really do, but I AM NOT GOING TO GET ANYTHING IN MY EYES WHILE TRYING TO MOVE. which would be valid if Hank existed...

But seriously, how could you move in it? Wouldn't it all just cake in the house that had so much cleaning done in it? And defeat the purpose and all? Sounds perfectly valid to me.

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

Are you sure you won't help? Not even for me? Maybe you could go out there and spray down the dust or something, you are the one with the damp after all. Just wear some eye protection!

I don't want my things to get all dusty :(

[ask-theharkni.livejournal.com]

*sigh* Fine. I'll see what I can do - I'll get right over there and see if I can SPRAY DOWN THE AIR.

See why that won't work?

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

*pouts* I thought you would do anything for me

[ask-theharkni.livejournal.com]

FINE.

*goes to see if he can spray air, even though it's more than likely going to be a lost cause*

Hey, that all looks familiar!

Drink plenty of water and use lip gloss. Em and I had cracked lips for a few days because the air was so dry.

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

Not quite as orange glowy, but still!!

Been drinking tea and cocoa. Does that count? *grabs bottle of water* I'm a lip gloss addict, so I think I'm safe on that.

[iamshadow.livejournal.com]

Not everywhere got the orange glow that we did. Sydney was nowhere near as orange for so long. By about midday it was a dirty brown. In the hunter Valley where we are, though, it was orange all day.

Just drink plenty. I didn't drink enough, and regretted it. My lips peeled terribly.

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

It's mainly a white haze right now, and the wind has started to die down. Hopefully it'll be clear by morning.

Yes ma'am *salutes* I will follow your excellent (and hard learned) advice.

[iamshadow.livejournal.com]

Unless it rains, the air will probably be really dry for a while, even after the dust has gone. It was here for a day or two.

[morgia.livejournal.com]

What is that ????????????

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

Crazy dust storm we had today!! Those are pictures I took looking over where the corn field used to be.

[morgia.livejournal.com]

Ho wow! Its very pretty ! Its happen often ??

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

We get really windy days fairly often, and sometimes dust gets kicked up but today was above and beyond normal. It did look a little pretty, but made it impractical to do anything outside (including moving)

[morgia.livejournal.com]

Hooo right I see now why its a good excuse !! lol Yark, that's bad....... Its could be snow! Think positive ;)
