storms at home

There were thunderstorms here this morning, because it's late summer in the upper midwest and that means thunderstorms. I'd planned to sleep in after a tiring week. I woke up to a blinking clock and a room so dark it hardly looked like morning; one power failure down, n-1 to go. Outside the window: layers and layers of dark clouds moving in across

The same storm woke me up this morning with one of the loudest thunder claps I think I've ever heard. I stumbled to the window with a sleepy sort of quasi-panic and saw that it just started raining. So I pulled on some clothes and went out to close car windows and shove some stuff back into the garage.

And when I fell back into bed, kinda soggy and cold, I couldn't help thinking about how lucky I was to be soggy and cold and in my pile of blankets on the living room floor that is our bed.

This is all just so many things that there aren't enough words for.
