retreat!

after being rained on all morning and afternoon, we gave up and came back home to dry off and regroup. it continued to rain steadily for the rest of the afternoon and for most of the evening as well so we didn't miss anything, and it's just as well because i was starting to get hypothermia from being so damp and cold. tea and soup weren't enough to keep me from getting cold again, I had to climb into a tub full of hot water to shake off the chills.

the neighbor had his party yesterday and a jazz band serenaded us for a few hours. that was a nice bonus. we spent the evening shovelling wet things into the dryer and watching movies and eating popcorn...i guess it could always be worse.

being this cold and wet makes me feel pretty darn sympathetic towards all the homeless people I see around here. imagine feeling that way all the time! (something to think about)
next time i see a brother out in the rain, i'm gonna remember...
