Worldcon countdown
Leaving in 10 days for Worldcon. While I’m a bit excited about the event itself, I’m actually more excited just to get away for awhile.
I was planning on heading to the beach yesterday, but it rained most of the day. However, later in the afternoon I looked behind my house and saw a double rainbow! More than made up for the lack of beach time!
The upstairs A/C unit decided to stop working on saturday. Sunday was the worst with upstairs temps in the mid 80’s. Fortunately there are ceiling fans in each upstairs room, so that helped quite a bit while sleeping. I’m rather peaved, though, as I just had to replace the coils on each unit about 2 months ago. With any luck, this will be a quick (and cheap) fix!
And the rains came
Well it finally rained yesterday. It had been so unbelievably dry for the past month or more (I’ve honestly lost count). We got a good 2 hours or more of rain last night.
The pond behind my house no longer looks forlorn. Water covers the dry sand that ringed it, stretching up to meet the grass that dons a brighter shade of green. The air smells fresh and clean and I just want to stand out back and breathe deeply.
Another month or two like this and maybe the water level will start getting back to normal.
