rain

Yay, rain!  Pouring, with flashes of lightning - and I just heard the oddest thunder as I was typing that, starting with an electric shock buzz noise.  It was like I was actually hearing the lightning t zapping something, but it should be far too distant for that.

It started raining about 4:15AM, and I got up repeatedly during the next half hour at least to check that all the windows were down enough so that nothing would get soaked (because of course with the heat last night when we went to bed we'd had them all wide open).  So, sleep was disturbed.  There was something else, too... oh, yes, when the cars were towed.  That's so loud, and they do always need to tow a few on Monday and Wednesday, just to keep people nervous.  I didn't hear the street sweeper, but it's possible that I managed to sleep through that.  And then there was going to sleep an hour late to begin with because it was just too hot. 

I'm torn between going back to bed and listening to the rain, or making coffee.  It's cool enough to have coffee. :)  And I'm starving, probably because I ate very little last night. 

my kind of weather.

55F/13C, overcast, chance of thunderstorms.  Nice after yesterday.  When I arrived at work yesterday the big boss saw how red my face was and thought I was going to keel over from heat exhaustion.  I wasn't, of course, I just turn red for anything.  (It makes driving after having even one drink a bit of a risk - no way would a cop pass me, even if I could do all the sobriety tests.)

And yes, I did go back to bed after my last post.  (And I dreamed Caw had come back - I miss you!)  Now I have my huge cup of coffee, and my breakfast getting cold in front of me as I type - I'd better apply myself to them or leaving for work early is out of the question.  In fact, I think it might already be.
