rain rain rain

gads, has it been that long since I've updated my journal? Basically, it's been wet in the midwest for the last 3 days. It started on Friday with a thunderstorm, saturday was ok but overcast, sunday was weird - starting raining as we were coming back from home depot, and then it started to thunder and lightning and storm at around 10:30pm or so, and continued throughout the night. It was icky. There were thunderclaps right over the house and 10-15 seconds of sheet lightning all through the night. My lovely bride wasn't able to sleep hardly any of the night, and I got woken up a couple of times (by her and by the lightning). Saturday we went to see "Pearl Harbor". What an emotional rollercoaster that was. I mean, the romantic aspects were standard wartime romance cruft, but the battle scenes and the raw emotion portrayed got to me really badly. I was still shedding tears when I walked out of the theater. Sunday was supposed to be a day to Do Nothing. Instead, there was a minor fight about me going to get the paper at 7:30am (despite having been up until 11:30pm the night before), and then I had a sad time for a couple of hours. I just didn't feel happy, which I suspect was biorhythms being out. We ended up at Home Depot and bought a door which my lovely bride had been coveting for years and the F-I-L and I brought it home in his F-150 Lightning. That is one *sweet* truck. Fire engine red, 5.9L V8, very very very nice. Then the thunderstorms and crappy movies and now it's Monday. Renner was closed at the underpass to K-7. There was one lone car that had tried to drive through the standing water stuck out in the intersection, so I turned around and hit Lackman through to College. Now I'm at work churning out the build documents - I have 4 to send to the SA's "officially". Go me! Toodle whom.
