For the past three days we’ve been getting rain, rain, rain
from Tropical Storm Debby. Our windows have looked like this (or worse):
Our pool looks like this:

We’ve been lucky so far, though. We haven’t had
any high winds, tornadoes or power outages, unlike other areas. According to
the latest storm track, Debby might make landfall near Florida
I’ve put aside the errands I planned to do today, in favor
of sticking close to home, staying dry, and charging all our battery-operated
electronics. (I remember what happened last time our power went out.) I’m
keeping our AC running cooler than normal today. In case the power does go out,
we won’t get hot and sticky quite as soon. I’ve also located the flashlights,
and the batteries for the lamps and fans.
Welcome to summer/hurricane season.
No, this isn’t how I planned to spend today, but that’s OK.
There are always more than enough things wanting my attention here. Monday
usually sets the tone for my week, and I want to make good use of it, even
though the gray and rainy skies make me want to go back to bed!
How will you spend today?
