I have the house to myself for the first time in weeks. Family is visiting from out of town and they all went to my niece’s baseball game. I am all alone. I’m loving it. And three minutes ago it started raining. Torrential rain. Buckets. Cats, dogs, everything. They will be home soon, I’m sure. What was supposed to be hours has been reduced to minutes. I have to go eat dinner before they get back, so I can eat without anyone watching me, or talking to me, or criticizing which bowl or spoon I’m using. Damn it.
In other news: Praise this rain! We just got some last night for the first time since March.
I never could properly explain myself in this dry desert climate.
