I was just, like, flopping around the house and, like, being lazy. I had the day off from work. It was a bank holiday, but my fiancé still had to work. And then after that, I went to ALDI, and I went to Target, and like, as soon as I – It was weird because, like, there was a thunderstorm warning, and walking into Target, like, I kind of looked to my right. So, like, in the parking lot of the former Sam's Club, and I said, like, “It looks like it's raining over there.”  And then all of a sudden, like, I started getting wet, so I, like, ran the next few steps in because the clouds, like, came over Target, like at that moment. And, um, a bunch of us were just standing, watching out the window because there were, like, sheets of rain coming down, and it was windy, and it was, like, crazy. Um, so eventually I was trying to shop, but it took me a long time to find what I was looking for. Like the main thing I came there for. And then I found it, and then over the intercom, the -- there was an announcement that said there was a tornado warning and we could either go to the emergency shelter, or we could leave the store, but we couldn't, like, walk around the store. And like, I wanted to check out, and I wasn't about to just, like, steal what I found, and I didn't want to walk out to my car in the sheets of rain either. So, I ended up going to the emergency shelter, and there was nowhere to sit down, and it was, like, really hot because there were so many people back there. And it was just not fun. So we were back there for about a half hour, and then we finally got to go back and, like, finish our shopping trips. So, I went home and I was really glad to be back home.

Note: There is language that is excluded in the transcript but not excluded in the audio. So my son was born two months premature through no fault of my own -- was total fluke. There was no rhyme or reason why my water broke so early, and so he was born two months early. And obviously that was very traumatic for me. I had just been pregnant and feeling great, and then my water broke, and then I ended up going on hospital bed rest for 12 days until I finally ended up having to deliver ‘cause infection started to set in, which is very common when you don't have as m- -- enough amniotic fluid. It's very easy for bacteria to get in, um, for whatever reason. So, so I had to do an emergency C-section and deliver my baby. And I was not ready for this. I was not ready to deliver yet. I was so sure I was gonna make it to 34 weeks, which was my goal, but he was born at 31 weeks and two days, and I was not had -- I had not had any birth classes. I didn't know anything about it yet ‘cause I -- the, the week that I was supposed to start taking my birth classes to learn what to do to give birth was when my water broke. Oh, and by the way, I had to put down a 30 or 50 dollar deposit for that class and they wouldn't give it back to me. Yeah. That place went out of business not too long after that, so f*** those people. [Laugh] Yeah, f*** you making money off of my misfortune. That made me-- that's one of the things that really made me mad.  But anyways -- “You know, we had to reserve this spot for somebody, and you're not showing up, so we're gonna keep your money.” I'm like, “Yeah, but I'm in the hospital.” Like ugh, that's so mean! That's so mean that you're gonna make money off of my misfortune! It's not that I'm just, like, not showing up. It’s ‘cause I'm in the hospital. Anyways -- which reminds me of another story, but I'm not gonna tell it because I'm still telling my first story. Ugh, okay, so I wasn't ready to have my baby yet, so I was devastated that he had just…

The low-country boil, as I said, has corn and potatoes and shrimp and, um, some other meat, too. I wanna say pork, maybe. It has a lot of different things in it. It's like a stew. It's like a seafood-type stew with corn and potatoes and things. Anyway, it has packets of spices that you buy at the store for it, and my husband had gotten them specifically for this particular instance, and the whole thing gets put in a very large boiling pot. And it is put on -- at this point in time he has it on the grill outside, and he's cooking it out there, and it's been going for a few hours before the people come. And when they come, they are given, you know, big bowls and told to come up. In the process -- so, my husband had put in one of the spice packets, and then he had looked at the amount of things and the number of people we had coming, and decided to add a second spice packet. That was where the mistake lied. So anyway, [cough] everyone comes and everyone is excited because we're having this, and, of course, it's fall, so other people have brought salads and rolls and desserts and things like that. We're just providing the main course. So everyone is all prepared, and they are looking forward 'cause it smells fabulous. It just smells wonderful. So people are coming over and they're lining up by the, by the grill to get their, um, low-country boil, and my husband dishes it all up and everybody starts heading to the various tables and seats to start eating. And all of a sudden, people are taking bites of the shrimp and their eyes are opening wide, and somebody says, "Boy, this is kind of spicy," and it just goes on from there. My husband has put in two spice packs, and we are twice as spicy as we need to be for this. So there are, like, I don't know, 20-some people who are kind of trying to brush off the spices on their shrimp and their potatoes and corn. The potatoes are the best of the things to eat. People are eating the potatoes big time 'cause they taste pretty good. The corn is okay, but the shrimp has really absorbed the, the spices, and that's the part…
