Wet Day
A futuristic conversation:
“Hey, want to go swimming tomorrow?”
“Sure, at the lake that used to be Maryland?”
Last night I was listening to the classical music radio station, 91.5 with Judith Kroenig, the woman with the intriguing voice. I heard a couple times, “100% chance of rain in Washington”. Late this morning Sara Ellen was a little antzy and seemed to want to go outside in the crummy outdoors. Norwegians say, “there is no bad weather, just bad clothing.” I have tall Norwegian rain boots and a snazzy, all-weather, all-terrain stroller. I was going to take the Baby Bjorn but that needed more clothes for Sara Ellen. With the stroller I also needed to cover my head. Perhaps it would have been easier to use the bjorn but I used the stroller, with it’s water-proof sleeping bag, and rain cover, and awkwardly held a big golf umbrella. She didn’t complain at all and drifted off to sleep. The rain came and went all day.
This afternoon I left early before my chiropractor visit and ran a few errands. The bank for a rebate check Tim thought would never come, Tim’s doctors office to pickup a referral, and Michael’s Crafts for beading research. At the office I did my workout (I’ve gained lots of core strength, and lost 5lbs) and got adjusted. Afterwards, I put my stuff in the car and decided to visit The Bead Shack. It’s an incredible store in Crofton with tons of awesome beads. Naturally, after deciding not to return home immediately, the rain poured down.
It was pretty nerve-wracking driving home. Davidsonville Road was nearly flooded. I could barely see anyway, and when a car came from the other direction, water splashed over the car. Route 50 was a little bit better, more cars but less water.
After a day like today, I’d want to relax and have the popcorn and coke I bought for last nights The Da Vinci Code movie night (I did eat the twizzlers), but I still have ballet at 6:30. Emily and I were supposed to have a dress rehearsal at 8:30 for the dance we’re doing at church on Sunday at 9 and 11am
(after which we head for New Hampshire), but power is out at the church.
