water

Which is better...no water inside and outside...or water both in my apartment (in the right places - coming out of the faucets) and outside. The rains have come. This morning was interesting as my old roommate and I ran through a puddle filled airport parking lot back to our vehicle, in the pouring rain. We were both wearing our glasses and that meant we both couldn't see in the rain with our fogged-up glasses. I don't think it mattered that we couldn't see the puddles we were stepping in. I believe they were impossible to avoid.

Later in the day (after properly getting ready at a decent hour and putting my contacts in) I headed out in the city again. This time I was able to see...but it didn't help. My street is normally a river when its sunny outside (I don't understand where the water comes from, but its always there.) So today it was an overflowing river. There wasn't a part of the street I could walk on that wasn't covered in a stream of running water. I actually found this interesting and laughed at the comfort that this rain meant I would have water in my apartment also. So far this has been true...I had water all day today - which is a first in a week or so. Yes it will go off tonight, but thats normal and manageable. Its the being off for most of the day that I can't handle.

So for today, although the cloudy, rainy, gloomy weather makes me tired and want to stay home and watch movie...I am happy with it. Now if it continues all week like the forecast says...then maybe I will start complaining.
