I was napping at 7:30 pm, avoiding the triple digit weather, when I was wakened by noise, which I soon ascertained to be thunder. Moments later, it was joined by rain, then by heavier rain and closer lightning. 45 minutes later of steady downpour, storm total radar shows in excess of 3″ of rain. Then radar went down. But the storm is starting to let up, we’ve gotten past the red area on radar and into orange. Well, radar came back, and the total is above 4″, a possible 5″ before it’s done. Sure made up for Marco and Laura totally missing us.

I was surprised yesterday when the truck insurance bill was posted, the bill was $85 less than the previous bill. That left me with about $60 mad money to remove from the bank account. I ended up spending it on a grocery run at dawn. But alas, the internet bill that is usually due on the 28th has not shown yet. Maybe tomorrow it will show, and I can rest financially. Nothing on the shopping list.

The risotto is history. A little milk and I can make more, but not now. Tonight I have shrimp and chicken whole wheat penne alfredo planned. And with the rain dropping the temp into the mid 70s, it won’t take long to cool the kitchen. Fajita beef is an alternative from the freezer. I resorted to little impulse buying to finish off the mad money. No room in the freezer.

I got a flat steel bar to fix the foot rest on the LZB this morning, but the board is still working, so no rush. I also got a 100 sheet pack of 24 X 30″ packing paper for Myka. She had shredded the packing paper that came with the drumsticks into 10 pieces, so I figured that it serves a purpose that is worth the cost.

Still waiting on the replacement bones. No word that they’ve shipped. Also waiting for the truck insurance slips. Not in a big hurry for either.

The rain ended after 80 minutes, leaving well in excess of four inches.

The internet bill got paid, last bank transaction of the month. $11 under limit. Deposit is already there, waiting for Tuesday morning.
