Thursday

I woke up Thursday morning to light rain and haze. I wouldn't call it fog, because I've never seen "fog" around here like we used to have in St. Clair.

I'm not sure what the rain was like during the morning, but when I went home at lunch time, it was back to a light rain. I spent most of my lunch hour driving around. I went to a store a co-worked said she used to get frozen pizza dough from. She said it was an Italian market nearby, but when I went there, it had apparently changed hands. It's now a Polish market and they were very amused (I wasn't) when I asked about pizza dough. Once they stopped laughing, they offered to sell me some fresh pierogies, instead.

So, I reluctantly made the long drive to another Italian market I knew of (I bought my pasta flour there, a while back) and found it was now out of business. Discouraged, I just went back home and had some Italian Wedding soup for lunch.

Around 2:00 PM, the rain had stopped and the sun came out. But, when I went home at 5:00 PM, it was cloudy and overcast.

I looked at the rain gauge and found I'd gotten another 1/4 inch of rain since I last checked.

I was just about to start a HUGE night of work when my daughter Melissa called. Naturally, we talked way too long, so instead of my ambitious plans (and that gourmet meal), I settled for a sandwich and then watched a little TV before bedtime.
