So, I live in a rather small town right outside of Dallas, called Waxahachie. Not many people know about it, but today we made national news. Around 11am a chemical plant a few miles from my school caught on fire. It continued to stay on fire and billow the blackest smoke I've ever seen, for about 6 hours. It was crazy to see; it felt completely surreal. Classes were cancelled and we were sent to our rooms/homes & told not to go outside. Scary right?? My roommate and I lined the bottom of our door and windows with towels and shut our ac off and were basically stuck... all day. So I did what any sensible girl would do, I baked cookies, made tea and knit while watching season two of Felicity^_^
Fortunately everyone at the plant was fine and we have not experienced any sort of sickness from the air, granted I haven't gone outside since noon. Other than that, a pretty normal day. How was your Monday? Was it awful, as most Mondays try to be? I sure hope not! Here's to happier healthier Tuesday!xo.

I couldn't believe how horrible the fire was when I turned on the news earlier today! My uncle lives in Waxahachie and when we checked in w/ him, he said it was only a few miles away, SO dang scary!

ReplyDeleteI personally like Monday's, as they are a start of a fresh week! *silly*
That's crazy! At least you had some great quality time to catch up on some of your favorite things! A hidden blessing! :)
