Jarring
Normally, a rainy night produces a fantastic nights sleep. The sound of the rain on the roof....it's just so soothing.
Yesterday, it rained most of the day. It cleared up in the afternoon, and then started in again when the sun set.
I drifted off to sleep, sound and sweet.
Until around 4:00 this morning, when all hell broke loose.
The lightening was so wild, the thunder so powerful it shook the house. Shook the house so hard that the "touch light" I have next to the bed came on. On bright.
I sat up so fast I about gave myself a nose bleed! Bright Light! Bright Light!! Damned Gremlins movies anyway...
It's Sunday, for cryin' out loud. It's 4:00 in the morning!! And of course it's 4:00am on the Sunday before the Monday that I have to leave the house to catch a plane at 5:00 in the flippin' morning.
Oh well, such is life.
But, we've already had a lot of rain. ALOT of rain. I just got the damned basement dried out from the last bit. Now, I'll be gone for two days and, well, who knows......
So it's looking like a lazy Sunday. Rainy/stormy, candles will be lit, naps taken and something cooked. I just think maybe I'll go ahead and unplug that bedside lamp before I do any serious napping. You know....just in case.
