More of the Nothing

Nothing going on today. I get to leave work a little early tomorrow, and Thursday is a holiday, and I get to telecommute on Friday, but today there is nothing going on.

Last night was weird. I went to bed early and got a ton of sleep. I woke up after six hours (because my brain hates me) but was able to get back to sleep and clocked in a total of about eight hours. It’s been so long. So very, very long.

Yesterday’s tornado warning that covered most of the Merrimack Valley did not end up in a tornado, but Methuen got some major storm action. None of us were home for any of it, but there were huge puddles everywhere and the Methuen PD reported some minor flooding. The worst part of the weather was the mystery it left in our back yard.

When I got home the bird feeder was off the hook, laying on the ground empty. That begs the question, did the wind and the storm knock it over or did the damn dirty squirrels knock it off first. It was empty, so there was some serious squirrel mischief, but did they initiate it or not? It’s a mystery. One that may never be solved.

I’m still concerned about the weather forecast for tomorrow. There is a 30% chance of precipitation and calls for scattered thunderstorms. I want to take the kids to the Methuen fireworks. The rain date is Friday, and this Friday the kids are at their dad’s. The weather has to be good on Wednesday.

It reminds me of Woodstock. Maybe if we all think real hard we can stop this rain (from coming).

No Rain!
No Rain!
No Rain!

I Got Nuttin’

I live in New England. I love it here. Unfortunately the rain seems to love it here too because it has rained every day this week and the forecast is calling for rain every day next week too. It is putting me into a “mood”. Jen feels like she’s catching a cold. I am either catching a cold or developing allergies. The kids are fine, they’re on summer vacation so rain or shine it’s paradise for them. I have been getting too little sleep every night this week. I’m tired and sore and feeling run down.

But it’s Friday.

We have no set plans for the weekend. The kids want to go see Monsters University, and Jen and I want to take them. I don’t know when that will happen, but it will happen at some point. Other than that? No clue. The house needs some cleaning and there is tons of laundry, as usual. The lawn is getting long again, but rain every day will screw that plan. I could use a haircut but I’m not worried about it.

Cook out? Rain. urgh.

I am so sick of rain. I want some sunshine and happiness. It’s like, mother nature can’t screw us over with snow because it’s too warm, so she’s screwing us over with rain. She pisses me off sometimes.

It’s Raining

We interrupt your regularly scheduled dumb blog post to pose a question:

What’s up with all this rain?

New England has been getting oceans of rain dumped on it for the past week.  I can honestly say that it is not the cause of the really crappy week I’ve been having, but it is certainly not helping things.  The kids and I needed to build a raft to sail down the driveway to the car this morning.  It’s really quite the downer.  Let’s hope this is all over and done with by the time Summer officially starts next week, m’kay?

Thank You, Rain

I would like to extend my warmest thanks to the rain that was supposed to come to us this morning.  Why?  Because it didn’t come.  I was able to finish mowing the lawn.  Oh happy, happy day!

Until like a week from now when it needs to be mowed again.
