What Happened to the Rain?

On Monday, we had a big storm with tornadoes and funnel clouds touching down in the somewhat rural areas surrounding Sacramento.  I didn't walk that morning.  More rain was expected Monday night although it would be dryer on Tuesday.  Again I didn't walk on Tuesday--I didn't even get up early, thinking it would still be rainy.  Nope, clear as a bell.  They also predicted Wednesday would be just as stormy as Monday, so again I didn't get up to walk.  And again, except for a few light sprinkles, we saw no substantial rain on Wednesday.

I mentioned yesterday that I thought I'd give my applique finger a rest and do something other than applique tonight.  It occurred to me that if it was going to be stormy, it might be a nice night to put on my warm jammies and go to bed early with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate.  But as it turns out, no rain.  And at 8:30 p.m., it's still about 60 degrees out, which isn't exactly HOT, but I'm not sure it justifies flannel and hot chocolate either.  The mood just doesn't feel quite right.

So I wandered into the Sweat Shop, turned on the TV, and sat there for about ten minutes wondering what I wanted to do.  Nothing.  Blah!  If I was a kid, I'd have been whining to my mom about having nothing to do.  It felt exactly like that.

So I think I WILL go to bed early and read.  And maybe a chocolate chip cookie will feel more "right" than a cup of hot chocolate.  And maybe, just maybe, I'll go to sleep early enough to make getting up and walking in the morning an attractive idea.  I just checked the weather forecast and there's no rain expected--sunny and clear all day (well I should qualify the "sunny" part--it will be sunny after 7:25 a.m. when the sun rises).

Goodnight!
