*hiding under my desk*
« on: May 21, 2004, 08:25:57 AM »

The sky is green and lightning is separating the sky every ten seconds. I am askeerd.

I'm also soaking wet because I got caught in the downpour on my way to work.

The only thing that could make today better is if the power went out. I walked to work in torrential rain only to not do anything. *jinxes herself*

I hope things have cleared up where you are, cat.

Sounds like it got pretty nasty for a lot of folks...

Is it warm out, at least?  I like walking in the warm rain, but downpours is a bit much.

If the power went out, wouldn't you be annoyed that there's no internet?

Raining here too. Been going off and on for the past week or so, which the farmers are certainly happy about.

No, it was cold hard rain coming down in sheets. At least I got dry clothes at noon.

It's partly cloudy out now. At least I won't get soaked walking back home in two hours.

Detta, I would probably go insane with no Internet, but I have a book to return to the library by next week and I'm only twenty pages in.
