squeequegYesterday I walked to work in the rain and walked home in the rain.
Last night the heat didn't come on (it wasn't much above 40 degrees out and blustery) and I was so cold I couldn't sleep.
This morning it wasn't any warmer and my shoes were still wet. I walked to work in the rain, and my hood kept blowing down.
But when I came home this evening, the apartment was warm, there was a delicious smell from everything I'd put in the slow cooker last night, I had a half-written bit of story on the computer that didn't have to be completed or revised or perfected at all, and a giant ball of cat wax known as the Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology Vol. II (M to Z) was waiting for me.
It's still raining, and probably won't stop for quite a while, but things are a little better right now in this island of warm light.

Date: 2005-05-27 09:29 am (UTC)Mostly sleepless night here, but did manage to have a dream in which all the newly planted trees where I work were snatched up by the storm and wind and tossed about the square. Not so far from possible truth. Someone said the square reminded him of the Faulkland Islands on Monday.
Let me know if you would like to poke my copy of these books, stunningly found new on ebay for $15 at some point -- World Christian Encyclopedia : A Comparative Survey of Churches and Religions in the Modern World, http://tinyurl.com/dzy5j The title is deceiving, in that they meant a comparative survey of all religions gathered for Christians, not of all Christian faiths. The weird thing is that is was gathered to help Christians figure out how to evangelize, not necessarily to just broaden horizons and learn what other religions are about. Never the sort of thing to read through in large chunks, but nonetheless fascinating snapshots by country/region and by faith tradition of the history and current state of religion.
