We're being hit with rain like we haven't seen in a loooooooong time. Between a cold front and a seriously slow-moving low pressure system, the forecast is rain all weekend and into Monday, not to mention the major storms we got yesterday.

Here's why: After seeing my doctor on Wednesday, I was unable to pick up the antibiotic he prescribed until Friday.

He explained the problem as this: We have a water softener - well, had, since it's now irretrievably broken - that we were told upon moving in three years ago wasn't hooked up to the lines so we ( Read more... )

We finally got some rain on Thursday!! I was so excited to hear a rumble in the sky and realize that it wasn't an airplane headed toward the airport!! We got about a 1/2" here. That's the most rain in Houston since JANUARY 24. Yep, that's right. About 3 1/2 months without decent rain. Instead, thanks to that bitch La Niña, my friends over in the ( Read more... )
