aamusedinatxI dislike Mondays. This one is hard to dislike but, I'm working on it. It's President's Day, a national holiday, and naturally I'm in here at work. Of course I'm in here on a strictly voluntary basis. I was off on Friday after nearly being taken out by a car wreck on the corner. So...time to make up some hours here.
It poured all weekend. Southern California got it much worse than we did. Friday evening about 5:30pm I sat in my room listening to deep, long rumbles of thunder. It's such a wonderful sound really and so rare to this area. When I'm sitting in my cottage, cozy, warm and safe, I like that sound of thunder traveling across the sky. It stopped raining long enough for me to take Lace out to dinner, welcome her home, and hear about her trip to Vegas.
Saturday it rained all day and all of us felt lazy. Every mammal in the house did little more than nap all day. At 11pm Saturday night I heard another crash at the corner, and at 11:30 yet another!
Sunday I woke to four pairs of eyes staring at me hungrily. I'd forgotten cat food and I was now being viewed as breakfast. I hastily got dressed and headed to Pet Express. As I returned, there was yet ONE MORE wreck on that intersection. It had apparently happened just a few minutes before the bus dropped me off across the street. That's 4 in 36 hours. I do not know what's up with that. Statistically it seems impossible.
And today...well after wind and rain all night last night and early this morning, I woke again at 8:30 to bright sunshine. My commute into work was slow, because everything is running on a holiday schedule, but I had to fish my sunglasses out of the bottom of my handbag for the first time in weeks (or so it seems). To be sure there are still big clouds piled in the sky, here and there. Some very white, some very dark gray. Our rain and wind is not yet over, I think. But for now...it's a nice respite.
I wonder what the rest of this week holds. Certainly no fun on my horizon. The boys are very busy this week and the Primary out of town come Wednesday. (sigh). I'll have to scare up some fun somehow.
