The past 24 hours have just been... something. Hope all of my midwestern followers are doing okay! On Monday afternoon Chicago and other nearby states were hit with a major storm. I was without power for 28 hours (it just came back late last night! We had the windows open and could hear the block cheering!), and as anyone who has been to Chicago in the summertime knows that means you're in for a sticky, hot, and uncomfortable time. We were able to step out and walk to my tattoo studio to charge up and enjoy a little AC (Opal is an air conditioning dog), and thankfully our only loss was a fridge full of just-purchased-that-morning food. Frustrating and wasteful, but it could have been much worse.
