Mmm, thunder
Aug. 27th, 2007 07:43 pm
Thank you, Great Mystery, for the dark clouds and thunder and lightning. I slept in beauty.
I admit, I was a tad disgruntled when we came home & the power was out. I mean, fuckitall, we had just gone grocery shopping & I have a freezer of meat, so I wasn't looking forward to having to be on a marathon cooking spree tonight. But, the power was back on by around 10 or so. I had a moment of 'Hah!', too - Rob said, "Oh well, I guess we can't have our decaf this morning" because the coffee pot won't work w/out electricity, but we have a gas stove. Sure, the electric ignition wouldn't work, but where there's a disposable lighter, there's a way. I thought it was funny, too, because I had insisted on getting new batteries for the flashlight when we went shopping. My intuition may not work like it used to but it's there when I least expect it.

Blessings of Lammas, everyone. Hope all the trees you've planted are heavy with ripening fruit.
I scored an 87 on my written exam yesterday & have my oral exam tomorrow. My shift went up for bid last night, so I'll find out what happened w/that on Saturday.
I feel strangely lighthearted. Must be the thunder & potential of rain. I've been bowing gassho to the clouds lately - I think this morning they're bowing back.

'I woke last night to the sound of thunder...'
No rain, tho. It's a bit early yet for monsoon season. Layed in my bed watching the flash of lightning through the Amityville window over my head, listened to things shake with each progressive roll of thunder. That's one thing I do miss everytime I leave Vegas. The thunderstorms.
There was a lot of movement in the house yesterday & last night anyway - it was the Solstice.
I feel uggy right now. Have to go see Mattimoe again this morning, let him know how bad the Paxil beat me up & I'm going to talk to him about therapy, see what he recommends. Rob is so against it, but I don't think he understands what I've been going through these past six months or so. My emotions sort of just get categorized as 'I'm never happy.' The fact that I've always been this way has been ignored and pushed under myriad rugs, put off, put down, put away. I know when I was a teenager, even back to when I was a kid, I always just thought I was a little insane, and dealt with it that way. I even think of it as 'back when I was crazy', and not as in 'some wild & crazy kid' but that I was actually nuts and am simply feeling much better now, mwuhahahah.

Monsoon Season
Jul. 17th, 2004 05:43 pmI woke up to the sound of thunder, as reminiscent of a certain Bob Seger song that may be. Weird lighting in my room, lightning flash after lightning flash. Normally I'd have been out in the rain, but lightning & I get along a little too well. Downpour just in time for Rob to be on the road trying to get dinner. Sirens started within minutes of the rain. Welcome to mid-Summer in Las Vegas. Flashfloods, sirens, and glorious glorious rain.
