No Sun Day

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it has rained for 48 hours straight. Oh, don't worry, I'm not complaining. I just wish it had come early and often this year so we all wouldn't be dealing with this drought.

My family Up North wasn't getting anything this weekend. So I'm sure they got all kinds of "year end" yard work done while we sit watching our leaves get wetter and wetter on the ground. It sort of forced us to do indoor activities today, which I needed to do anyway.

Went to early church where I was scheduled to read and Carter had to acolyte for the last time. I still get a bit of anxiety when I have to do that -- memories from earlier this year pop up -- but we both survived just fine. After church, did a quick grocery run and came home and made chili. It was just one of those cold, rainy days you wanna eat something warm and sit under a warm blanket on the couch! If there was nothing else to do.

While the chili was simmering, I got my "Saturday chores" done. This is becoming a habit. Of course, I've been gone or busy most Saturdays this fall. And lazy the others.Today I just wanted to get the dusting, vacuuming, even some baking, done before the Vikings came on at 3:30 p.m.

Well that wasn't worth all that effort, that's for sure. Not like the world has come to an end, but it sure gets frustrating losing a game after an early lead.

Sigh...

Not like we had many options. I couldn't blow off the team to go sit out on the deck or anything! I certainly wasn't going to run in the rain for a second straight day either. So we suffered through it and figure the week can only get better.

Plus, the rain stopped. Maybe the sun will come up tomorrow after all.
