I can’t say I was really alert and “keeping a weather watch” today — in fact, after waking up at the regular six ayem time and bombing for the 3rd time in 452 wordle games played… I finished my coffee and went back to bed.

I finally surfaced at 2:45 p.m. and discovered it was raining.  Not hard.  But definitely more than misting.  Wow!  All I could think of was thank goodness I don’t have to drag those hoses around today.  (So, of course, my exercise program is shot to smithereens.)

It was a weird day — or, actually, half-day.  I caught up on a few phone calls and some correspondence and kept thinking I should be hungry but couldn’t think which meal it should be — breakast?  lunch?  I finally settled for a yogurt, some cranberry juice and waited (about an hour) for the cocktail hour to roll around.  A Bloody Mary made with V-8 juice (all my needed (veggies) and a half a bag of Doritos for roughage and voilà!  I read my library book ( Book Five of The Outlander series which appears to be never ending) and… the day was almost over.

Still it’s raining softly and I’m enjoying my misty-moisty view of the bay.  Strangely, I feel as though my day has been complete — even without normal hours, regular meals, or getting as much work done as I had planned.  It’s probably an old-age thing but I’ve checked carefully and I don’t seem to be bothered about it.  So… I think I’ll read few more chapters and thank the weather gods for this gently embracing day.
