Tuesday’s Monday
Posted on | October 25, 2005 | 8 Comments
As Wilma passed, she left behind tender fall air. Suck on that, Summer! Neither of us went to work. Honestly, I didn’t feel safe driving in Tropical Storm force winds. I also had to finish reading Wuthering Heights and I found the rushed tap of rain on the windows singularly relaxing. There’s nothing better than being cuddled by your demon children on a fluffy couch with a woobie. I tell you, it’s the best.
D and I tried to keep the tent/gazeebo/thingyweneverusedmuch from flying into the neighbor’s yard. That meant we had to run into the rain (why in the hell was it so fucking cold?) with scissors, a screw driver and a sad smile. I wish we had used that little tent more often, but the porch’s access to even the faintest wind kept us out front. That, and the porch doesn’t smell like dog shit. But, I digress. I heard the pained twisting of the metal supports, and wanted to laugh as the whole thing hopped in wind. After a particularly hard twist, I told D that we needed to take it down. We hacked off the cloth top. Bits and parts were screwed in and we just didn’t have the time (nor the inclication) to stand in the rain trying to get it off neatly. It was trash. It just needed to be cut down into smaller pieces. We diassebled what we could and I spent the rest of the afternoon periodically checking the back yard to make sure the wreckage remained. With the gazeebo down I can see, without interruption, how poorly my garden is doing. I’m a terrible gardener. The weeds have taken over….blech!
I’ve not heard from the Grandparentals, nor the Uncle in Miami. Actually, I’ve not heard from anyone, which worries me. I am going to assume everyone is okay for now. I don’t want to worry prematurely. It gives me gray hair.
The weekend went as follows: pickedup Tali from the airport and taking her to dinner, slacking, watching Batman Begins, slacking, Frankie’s party, drinking with Tali till 2 a.m., slacking. Yeah. That pretty much covers it.
I’m ready to get the hell out of this state. I’m pretty much over hurricanes now. Give me a good blizzard!

No… I don’t do the seedy thing. If you want it/them you are more than welcome to it.
Yeah, those gazeebo things are pretty cheap, I’m just bummed because we used it for the wedding. Alas, such things happen in the face of a hurricane.
I wish class was cancelled.
