Blogging again.
Yesterday was so good. But today is so hard. I hardly want to move.
I went out to Lake Monroe in the beautiful few hours of sunshine between awful storms and lay in a floatie and just basked in the warmth and light (although the water was cold.) Everything is flooded because of all the rain we've had, so we were actually floating over parking lots instead of beach but I didn't mind not having to step down into ucky lake bottom. The playground by the shelterhouse was partially submerged, too. It's like when we'd play pirates as kids and imagine that all the yard around the treehouse was shark-infested waters. I'd love to have been a kid and play on that playground with real waters to surround your pirate ship. It was marvelous fun being with just a couple of girls and feeling good about my new bathing suit (which looks more like a dress.)
Came home to shower, then went out to dinner and a movie. Dinner outside at Bistro & Crepe when the tornado sirens go off and we look behind us at a wall of roiling clouds and black sky and think "my, but we're unobservant." It quickly moved across the sky and covered Bloomington like a wet blanket. We found shelter at the fire station, huddling with the fire men just inside the bay with the doors open, watching the storm and waiting for the call for a lightening fire. After and hour or so with no tornadoes, we decide to go the movie after all.
Sex & the City. Then driveway conversations in a lightening storm that never ended until almost-dawn.
And today I'm beat.
Also, my keyboard is a bit dirty.
