I've now accrued so much vacation time that I have to take two days a month or I lose those days. So yay for me. I'm taking today off as my first of those days - also convenient since I have my first appointment with my new OB this afternoon. It's a nice day to stay home - raining and grey and dreary. So I'm reading HP fan fics online and listening to the rain come down and trying to put off cleaning the house which I know is what I should be doing.
A few minutes ago it started hailing. Like, a TON of hail. And we have skylights in a few places in the house, so it was super loud. And in this area we don't get a lot of hail. I can remember maybe three previous times in my life in Southern California where we got this much hail. Scout was lying on our bed in the other room and I KNEW she was going to be freaking out. So I went to fetch her from the other room her tail was pufed out to about four times its normal size and was staring out the window frozen in the middle of a crouch. If she could speak she would have cried out WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SHIT HITTING THE WINDOW?!? IS THE WORLD COMING TO AN END OR WHAT?!? So I picked her up, brought her into the kitchen, and gave her a couple of treats. Now she's only mildly freaked out, but I predict she won't be leaving my side for the rest of the day.
