Rumble, rumble...
May. 29th, 2006 09:36 pm[Sound of thunderclaps in the distance] It's been that way all afternoon, yet no rain here. For a while the severe storm warnings completely surrounded us, but we never got any actual rain.
We did go to Elgin for the race this morning, where there was way too much food, it was really too warm and humid, and other than that, it was good. Saw friends we haven't seen in a while, and worried about people who kept dropping out of the race because of the heat and were getting hauled away in ambulances. Heat index was probably 95 or higher, I'd guess. Silly to run a race on a day like that, really.
Came home, did chores, tried not to fall asleep in the heat. I did do my ironing, finally, so I'm good for several weeks now until the hated task comes up again. Made another rhubarb pie, and home made pizza with cheese and multiple veggies on it as well as salad from the garden again. And the evening and the morning were over and the night came, with more thunder. At least this is a short week, only four days.
