the rain
It started raining constantly at about midnight last night. It woke me up and I yelled "Mark! It's raining!" and I think he just grunted back at me. We have two loads of washing on the line and I've been up and out of the shower for half an hour and it hasn't let up to allow me to get some of the necessities off so I can spin them out and hang them inside. Looks like Mark will be going withouth work pants tomorrow! If I go out there now I'll get soaked, but maybe if I wait for Mark to get up we can both go and we won't be out there for as long.
I think my roof is leaking. It's not supposed to do that. Last time it rained heavily the water pipe that goes through the bottom toilet leaked. Now I'm in the study upstairs and it looks like some water is seeping through the part of the wall where the bricks and the roof join. Maybe that means it's leaking on the other side too? I hope so, cause Mr-2TM-radio-at-6am really pisses me off when I can't get back to sleep.
It's warming up. Finally. I woke up early this morning, although I did go to bed early last night, because I was too hot. At the moment I'm sleeping in a tiny slip of a nightie, so it must be time to take the flanelette sheets off and put the summer sheets back on. I'm back to wearing t shirts now too, thank god because I was really getting sick of being cold. It was so weird though, all through winter it was hardly cold, and then August hits and it's absolutely freezing. Three weeks ago I was wearing layers and layers of clothes and this morning I'm sitting around in a little brunch coat type thing going around making sure all the heaters are off. It's not hot, but it's definately not cold anymore.
Dinner last night was ok. I ate heaps and felt so sick afterwards, but that's what happens when you go to a restaurant like that. We came home and watched some CSI:Miami and then I went to bed because I was so tired. It was a good end to a bad day, which was made so much better by the fact that Mark actually paid some good attention to me. He gave me a head massage while we were watching CSI, which I think is what made me so tired.
Today I'm planning on doing some hardcore uni work, and now that it's a rainy day I guess there are less outside distractions, but more feelings of laziness. I'm hoping I'm pretty motivated today anyway.
