Sat around in my PJs this morning watching shallow, albeit entertaining, movies waiting for the weather to clear so I could hit the road. My mission today was to run 9 miles....and so I did. The first 6.5 in overcast but not unpleasant conditions, the remainder in a torrential downpour accompanied by flashes of lightening and thunder! Not much I could do really I had to get home one way or another and it's not like I could call a cab (given I don't actually go running with money....cellphone.... ID....medical card....you know I think I can hear the big sis berating me.....I might need to re.think some of that....). I felt strangely elated as the rain started to pelt down; started grinning even, I expect I looked slightly hysterical to passersby. But hey, there were other crazy fools out there walking, now that's really stoopid!
The mother arrives Friday - yay. Two reasons, it will be nice to see her and it will signal the beginning of two weeks off, including our trip to Vegas. Sweetly too Marcia left me the keys to her car so that I don't need to hire one to go to the airport to pick mum up. I love my Miata but she just ain't designed to collect international travelers from the airport, unless they pack light! Now really I just need to get my head to small things like; clean the house, get some food in that mum might like to eat; including instant coffee I believe (and think is a crime against nature and the natural order of things).
