Storm :D

We both laid down for a nap around noon, and slept restlessly until 2:30 when I noticed it was raining and decided to get up and close the windows.

It's storming beautifully :D

Elijah is working on the word "cat". He is extremely excited whenever he sees a picture of a cat or a real cat, and says, "Ka! Ka! Kaaa!"

The power went out for a moment, during a beautiful storm.

Then the livingroom window started leaking. A lot. It was raining in the livingroom almost as hard as it was raining outside.

This afternoon, we are waiting for Brian to come home, watching Homicide, and paging through random books.



Homicide :D


It rained in the livingroom -.-


But there is fun anyway :D

Storms make me happy.

Despite getting to sleep way too late and getting up way too early, today was nice. We acquired more double-yolk eggs, ten (ten!) beautiful scarves, some little stuff from IKEA, and a wonderful antique chair. We had lunch with Amanda, Beth (Auntie Nom Nom!) and Josh at a Korean place, and dinner with those three plus Chris B, Dani and her new guy (who gets my approval but still can't take her to live in Alabama). Elijah ate a lot of food and refused to nurse until bedtime (please please please don't make that a regular thing yet... give me a few more months, please, baby boy!). We had IKEA frozen yoghurt. It was a good day.

The best part of all, however, was riding in the car, Sisters of Mercy blasting on the stereo, rain pouring down, the storm raging around us, watching the other cars dance on the road. I saw more streak lightning in that half hour than I did in 12 years in Kentucky, where it was all sheet lightning.

To my utter amazement, I do not currently have a migraine, or even any joint pain. My joints are stiff, as usual, but I'm used to that. And my muscles are sore, but that seems normal after walking all day and carrying a heavy baby for most of it.

So yeah. A good day.

I am Pollution.

It's about to storm. This makes me unbelievably happy.

Today was not a good day: I didn't sleep last night (Elijah did), woke up in a lot of pain (head, joints, shoulders, back, eyes), moped around all day, gave a virus access to my computer, and watched Elijah pull the PS2 off of its perch. It crashed to the floor and stopped working.

Brian fixed both PS2 and computer when he got home, because he is awesome that way.

The evening was much improved: Dinner with my boys, then a walk outside in the dark while the storm rolled in.

I wish I had more interesting things to say today, but I don't think I do. I haven't checked out StumbleUpon yet... maybe I will and post again.

If anyone has any particular ideas that I should ramble about, feel free to comment with them? (Sonja, I bet you could come up with a few :) )

Storm.

The storm is here, finally. Which explains today's migraine attack.

I do so love rain and thunder...
