Two words:

T Storms

One my way to work it was nice out, a bearable 83 degrees with a 30% chance of rain. An hour later it's black as black can be, thunder crackling over my head, lightning the only source of light coming from the sky. Ten minutes later a skirt of rain arrives bring the newborn storm directly overhead of my building. Being on the 4th floor, top floor my only witness to this beauty is what I can hear. I run back to the closest windows I can find just to catch a glimpse. I'm besides myself, wishing I could be in a plastic bubble out in the thick of it.

I only wish this could have happened Friday night or last night even while I was at home. It's the perfect time to be lost in my down comforter with my Suisse wrapped around me. I only wish.

It won't last all day and I'd be surprised if it lasted another hour. Just like two days ago when we had the first surprise rain shower in a couple months, by the time I got off of work it was clear blue and even the concrete showed little evidence it had even rained.

I work tonight at X. Woo hoo. Can you tell I am excited? I'll write more later, my mind is drawing a blank.
