The weather has been so weird the last two days. Roaming little storms popping up here and there and making things crazy … then a little sunlight to make things miserable. It’s not quite hot enough to turn on the AC, unless I want to set it to Hell Frozen Over, but with the windows open, the humidity is just oppressive. Just washing the dishes left me as sweaty as if I had run a marathon, and I feel just about as wiped out too. I really feel for Lin, who has to be right out in this stuff.

I didn’t mind that we had a nice wet spring for a change, because we’d been in drought status for a long time, and we really needed some water from the sky. But … it could stop now. The ground is saturated, the lakes are full, and the flooding is only going to get worse from here on out. I realize that without these storms it would be Hell Hot outside right now, but I’d settle for a nice dry baking sun over constant grey skies and flooding every day.

Not that it’s flooding in my neighborhood, thank heavens. They fixed our creek/storm drain, so I think even though we live a block away from a flood plain, we would only see an actual flood here if it was a storm of Noah proportions. Well, at least I hope I am right about that. But in general, there is too much flooding going on around Texas.

The sun is out right now, but the way these storms just pop up from nowhere, I don’t expect that to last long. I guess now that I am somewhat recuperated from the dish-washing, I better go check the mail and take out the trash while it isn’t raining cats and dogs. Then I think a nice shower and turning the AC on to Hell Frozen Over for a while is in order. I’m making the meatloaf tonight, and I dread turning the oven on. The kitchen is already unbearable, and the late afternoon sun isn’t even beaming in through the windows yet. Yes, Hell Frozen Over is definitely in order.
