Of course, I've gotten up and brushed my hair and gotten ready for work, and that's it. But hopefully it will keep to the pattern. Last night, there was an awful lot of noise from the deck. It took me a moment to get past the image of people tapping on the deck door and realize it was a really heavy downpour - I've heard them from upstairs before, but not down here (probably because I have music on about 80% of the time when I'm down here, and it wasn't that loud).

So I stuck my head out the door just far enough to appreciate it and get the occasional spatter, and my arm out into the rain. It took about five seconds to soak the sleeves of my sweater and turtleneck through. I love rain.

It tapered off after a short while, to a more normal level, and I came back inside and eventually went to bed. This morinng, I awoke around six to the sound of a similar level of rain against the bedroom window (much more familiar - and more dramatic, I think). So what did I do?

I went back to sleep, of course. I'm supposed to get up around 7, not 6. Lovely sound, though. It had stopped by the time I got up, about 10 to 7.

I'm awake. I'm energized. Most of that is that I went to bed on time after a lazy evening doing not much of anything, instead of late after cramming work in (which was Monday night). But the rain can't have hurt.

May the rest of the day be as good to me.

Wasn't it a lovely rain? I woke up in the middle of the night listening to it. And since my leg wasn't hurting it was even nicer.

This morning has been a misty and light rain and just beautiful out here. We opened up windows and aired the house out --- with a really steady breeze from the south. Which got us all the kittens in, of course. Had to shut the south side windows when it started to rain and it was blowing in.
