Rainy Day

[bill_schubert]

That time of year.  I thought we were going to have a drought this year and we may yet but it is rain time now.  Flash flood warnings posted for today.  Not that we need to worry.  At least not until there is a lot more rain than this.  But now through Sunday is rain time.  In another month there will be none so I'm enjoying it and the free watering for the yard is nice.

Quiet day other than that.  I already went on our Zoewalk listening to Weir's "Project Hail Mary".  It is always so disconnected listening to something like that when on a walk enjoying nature and walking and Zoe.  Wild flowers and science fiction. 

I've got another day pretty much by myself.  Yesterday Dana went to see a friend down in Austin and spent the day doing stuff that did not cost much but took all day.  And today she has her monthly infusion of gamma globulin to keep her immune system tuned up so I'll be by myself again.  This after being in this fairly small house every day with someone for almost every day.  It is a weird difference.  We've done amazingly well together for the past year and are actually closer than we were a year ago.  Being on my own takes some adjustment.  Not bad but strange.  And Toby HATES it when she is not here.  

I will have to interact with people a little.  We need food and Hello Fresh is not due until tomorrow.  I've intentionally let our refrigerator food dwindle a little and now need to do some shopping.  There will be a day in six or eight months that I'll be able to get on my bike and run up to the store to get food.  Just in time.  I'm looking forward to it.  Meanwhile it is kind of painful.  Maybe the rain will start and keep people away.  I can hope.

It was a huge adjustment for me when Zen started going back into the office. We were both working from home for a solid year, so I was very used to him being home all the time. Now he's back in the office almost every day and it's weird for me when he works from home.
