Full day.

Being woken up early in the morning by a heavy thunderstorm and going back to sleep to those sounds - and having a fairly vivid narrative dream about Noah's raven - was a pretty nice thing that happened today.

Getting caught in a downpour out on my bike ride and getting so soaked I had to change all my clothes down to my underwear when I got back to my apartment, having a few moments of that wonderful fresh-water smell all around me like I was swimming on solid ground, riding through big puddles and the splashes being fierce enough even my shoes got waterlogged, also pretty grand.

I think the capstone of the day was when the phone rang, and I picked it up and said "Hello?" with the sounds of a call center in the background. A woman said to me, "Hi, I'm Rachel with Medicare benefits. How are you?"

My response was simply to open up my lips and let out the "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" waiting inside.

And on the other end, a cut to beautiful silence.

Your response to Rachel just made me laugh out loud. :-D We have been having big thunderstorms here and enough rain to break the heat for a day here and there. That's so very nice.
