Mostly Useless Stuff I Learned Today While Avoiding Cabin Fever
It snowed this morning in this part of the United States, so, like many, I find myself wasting time at home today. But regardless of circumstances, every day is an opportunity to learn something new. It doesn't have to be anything useful, and i
Traveling Alone In New York
I meant to post this last week, but I never got around to it. A fellow writer, &SyddyHud, asked me to share my experience of traveling alone during my SummerSlam vacation in NYC, and I think that's a good idea. I'm sharing two experiences from this tri
When drowned rat met soggy dog, 2004
&alexdg1’s post about getting caught in the rain reminded me of my own experience a decade ago.Mr C and I had just bought this house a couple of months previously, and I’d only been living in the area for less than a year, so was still
Weird September 2015 Holidays
I had this filed under 'Humor' but then I don't want people laughing AT me but rather laughing with me so I just categorized it under 'Random'. My feeble attempt at being a comedian doesn't deliver laughs but rather awkward silences. LOL! Anyway, already

Not A Pretty Picture
K and I are on our way back to eastern North Carolina after a whirlwind two day vacation in Pensacola. I drove the first leg of our trip from Pensacola to Jacksonville, Florida on I-10E, then around Jacksonville on I-295N, and picked up I-95N. We stopped f
Let It Rain
I'm going to start near the end, or at least where we are now. K and I are back in our hotel room waiting out a rather awesome Gulf Coast style thunderstorm. Back home we get some pretty good thunderstorms but, to be honest, they are spring shower
Rain At Last!!
Hi you guys, I've been up since about 10:30am, and was thinking''when is the rain coming?''. I kept checking the forecast, and radar to see if rain is coming. And I also went as far as checking from the window if it was raining yet because
Word Art
I have two primary reasons for writing. One is that I use writing as a tool, to get the jumbled mess of thoughts in my head out, and to put them into some kind of order that makes some sort of sense. The other is that I've always admired

Today was such a chilly rainy day
This morning my kids woke up a bit later then usual. We weren't up in time to as leave as early as we needed to in order to get to a free children's building event at Lowes. I looked at the weather forecast to see if we would be able to go
The Best Way to Spend a Rainy Day
I love rain. I have always loved rain. When I was a child, I lived in a place where we didn't get enough rain - there was a drought that lasted for years - so whenever we got any rain, we, as kids, just savored it. Rain usually brought fr

Early Rain Magical Random Thoughts Post
Thanks to the early morning rain, I woke up an hour earlier than my usual wake up time. Instead of trying to get back to sleep, I decided to do an extra round of my morning torchers. I was checking out my progress and then 'Poof!!!', like magic my fat disa

Tracing My Footsteps
Born and raised in Miami, Florida. What was the most memorable thing about this city? The weather! Very seldom – exclude the hurricanes – was there ever really bad weather. As a little child, actually thought that Sunday was called Sunday becau

Birds Everywhere
Today it was cloudy and I was sure it would #rain. In fact, it had sprinkled a bit in the morning when I had gone to get something out of my car. But I know I need exercise, and in spite of my reluctance to go outside with such an ominous #sky, I went. I k
Swollen Brain

Cold And Wet Ride Home
One of the massive downsides of #cycling to work and back every day is when it is cold and wet, and boy was it a cold ride home in the rain tonight. Monday and Tuesday this week were super cold days, but as they were dry the twenty mile round trip was very
Rainy Day in GA
I don't know about where y'all are, but it has been raining here since last night. I knew it was coming because my head started hurting yesterday evening around four o'clock. We had a few days without rain, which sure was nice because I'm tired of the head
No, I am Definitely NOT a Movie Buff
Went on a #road trip today, around 100 miles. In the peeing #rain and with a bunch of people who wanted to pass the journey time watching movies. Urgh. Not my specialist subject! I'm not a visual specialist. I write; I don't appreciate visuals. I have b
Just Walkin' in the Rain
Getting soaking wet. But I really didn't know it would #rain when I left. I knew it was about time for the gardener to show up and I wanted to avoid the noise he would make. I knew it was cold out, though, and put a snow hat on under my sun hat. There was
My First Photo Walk After Surgery
This is the milestone I've been waiting for. I've had cabin fever, but it was too rainy and cold to go for a real #walk before today. Since I was supposed to start small, I decided to make the two-block trek to the neighborhood mailbox and back. I was craz
Rain- Our Halloween Treat
The photo you see here was taken a couple of hours ago. It felt as though rain would come at any time and rain was in today’s forecast. But as the day went on, I wondered if it would rain after all. There were periods when the sun shone brightl
The Right TO Die
I just read on Fox News again about how a 29 year old woman had decided the date when she will die. Brittany Maynard is only 29 yrs old and just been married over a year. They were planning a family but after their marriage she started to experience
Been Reading A Lot Of Graphic Novels ...
Been reading a lot of graphic novels these past few days. Not sure if it is because I'm feeling some #strain or possible the #vampireblood in me but I'm reading a lot of #Sandman novels and #TheWalkingDead. Of course, I'm enjoying it a lot. I'm also readi
Still Waiting For Heavy Rains To Come
It never happened that we are going to get water from the Government Authorities every alternate days. This is the situation we are facing. Usually till this time our dams are filled more than the half of their capacity. But till yesterday not even 25% of
The rains came tumbling down
Soooo, the rains came tumbling down yesterday. Okay, I'll tell the truth -- I might have exaggerated slightly, since the rains didn't really come tumbling. They mostly sprinkled for a bit and then quit. Sprinkled for another few minutes and then qui
