Deluge Day! While I was sitting, waiting for my lunch to arrive, a massive storm front moved  through and dumped what seemed like a foot of water. The low spots in the local roads suddenly were filled with water. When I started to go back home, I had to use my windshield wipers at full speed just to be able to see some of the road.

I got home to find the patio flooded and the water threatening to come through the back doors. Fortunately, about then, the storm eased and the patio started a slow drain--one that is still in process. If the storm had persisted, we could have had water in the house. But it didn't and all is well, assuming there is no more rain coming. (A quick check of the weather reports seems to indicate on and off rainfall, but nothing like what happened over an hour ago.)

I feel a little creaky today--partly because of the moisture and coolness, and partly from yesterday's circuit training session. All of these elements contribute to today's creaky index.

It's quiet here today despite the presence of MD's son. He's been eating (as predicted) the remainder of last night's Chinese food festival. I had a pulled pork sandwich at the renovated O'Conners BBQ. They really did a job on their revamp, but the downside is that the place was packed. To be determined if the crowds continue throughout the weekday periods. They made the place seem a bit smaller and less open, but it was a well planned changeover.

I napped for a while after returning from lunch. I awoke feeling shaky and took my medication. I'm starting to quiet down now but I'm still feeling a little shaky. Will hit the circuit exercise again tomorrow and launch off into the week's dancing activities. One dance will be: Have You Ever Seen the Rain?
