Good-bye fair weather, you were wonderful. My opened windows will miss you and your cool breezy ways, for our old musty friend, the afternoon showers seems to be making it’s noisy, moist return.

Rain beating against my bedroom window, stormwarnings playing on the TV in the background. It did get heavier. Crazy. It was bad enough that NASA decided to redirect the Space Shuttle Endeavor to land in CA. Damn.

Thank God for my handy blue-light LED flashlight. It was really really dark when all the lights went out after a lightning strike somewhere in the area. We were in the dark for over an hour.

I recently had my one month anniversary of my move to Florida. First thing that I learned was that it rains every afternoon/evening at this time of year. Being from Southern California I feel like I need to explain what I mean by the phrase “it rains every afternoon/evening.” Let’s just say that one single afternoon/evening of rain here in Orlando equals the rainfall for a whole year in So Cal. Holly asked the other day how I’m adjusting. I guess because the rain is so regular that I just figured to go with it. I mean, Orlando in July equals rain every afternoon, just like living in some place like Corona (CA) equals a one-hour 10-mile commute home if you leave the office after 4pm. You either go with it, or figure out a way around it. Besides, there was a time when being in the rain used to mean “indoor fun” for me, but those stories belong in a different section of this blog.
So, after a month of rainy afternoons I’m still adjusting to the concept of living in more than one room and still moving the furniture about. But then I never quit moving the furniture after living 13-year in my one-room studio in Long Beach, so …
