Rainy days and Mondays

I think I mentioned it raining on Sunday, which it did, off and on throughout the day. But, Monday? My God! I could not believe how hard the rain came down at times.

I went out at lunch and some of the streets were flooded with a foot of water. Worse yet, my rear tire was low. So, even though my friend B___ held an umbrella over me, I got thoroughly soaked when I filled it back up. As a result, lunch was a soggy mess for me, as was most of the afternoon (where are those electric hand dryers when you need one?)

I got home and checked the rain gauge - I got 3 1/2 inches of rain so far!!! It was only 65 degrees F. in the house and I was chilled from my damp afternoon, so (even though I may be jinxing everyone to an early Fall) I turned on the furnace!

Jake and Carla were off to the new house for a final inspection, so dinner was leftovers. Fortunately we had a ton of them to choose from. I picked hamburgers and sweet corn.

When they did return home, Carla made potato soup (see I'm not the only one who was chilled!) and I had some later in the evening for a snack. Very good! I watched TV until 11:00 PM then went to sleep.
