Thunder & Lightening

[dalthauser]

 A giant crack of thunder woke me straight up last night.  This sort of thing always happens when I go to bed late and need as many remaining hours of sleep as I can get.  Anyway, lots of rumbling thunder and rain.  As soon as it was light I checked on the chickens - they were huddled under the coop - they appear traumatized.  Once I came with greens to eat they miraculously recovered.  On my way back to the house I slipped in mud and landed on my bare hands and knees - nice.

I got a thing in the mail from the stimulus people saying I'm getting $600 and I'll have it by May 9th.  It's 300 more than I thought I was getting.  All of it going to finally pay off the credit card that I've been carrying a balance on for months.  When I had the big tree removed I had to put some things on the card to compensate - I've been carrying a balance ever since.  It's the first time I'd carried a balance in about 10 years.    

I rushed to work this morning forgetting to eat breakfast.  Thank you Orville Redenbacher microwave popcorn! (I keep a box in my desk at all times - breakfast of champions).

I always feel cheated when it rains late night/early morning. The wind, thunder and rain sounded impressive. It looks like we may get some more rain tonight.

May I ask what occupation you have?

I like the wind & rain too, but I'm always worried about falling trees and flooding. I never worried about it when I rented :-)

I work in a call center (inbound) assisting customers with orders and after purchase service issues. (mind numbingly boring - but it pays the bills). How about you?
