Rain, rain go away!

You have probably all heard about the huge amounts of rain Texas and Oklahoma are getting, but you may have no idea how hard it is raining. It comes down in massive side-ways sheets as if someone were emptying giants buckets from the sky. Yesterday, it rained so hard that if you were out in it, you couldn't even see in front of you! From the safety of my lab, this is what you could see:



The picture was taken with the camera on my phone, so I don't know if you can really make out the sheets very well, but they are there. Half an hour later, when it stopped for a short bit, this was the view:



It's crazy! And there's more rain predicted...

New home...

I started moving to a new place on Friday and have FINALLY managed to finish today. It rained so much these past few days that I wasn't able to get it all in one go. Not to mention the fact that my little Jetta only holds so much! Still, it is nice to be done. Most everything fit, but I will have to take the few things from the attic to the Panhandle to store until I have a house again.

Hopefully this will be the last place that I live here in CS!

Macy is really enjoying apartment life. Lots of things to see and smell, and she loves our roommate Jamie Rae a lot. She spends a lot of her time sleeping in Jamie Rae's reading chair.



I was really worried about how she would take the move, since she was so upset over my trip to San Diego. She did seem traumatized a bit by the actual moving of stuff from one place to another, but now that we are all settled in, she is very happy!

One good thing about living with Jamie Rae so far (and I'm sure there will be many) - I have eaten breakfast every day! I don't know why the change has occurred, but I'm sure that Phil and Mam-maw are applauding.

Oh, I almost forgot - as a bonus, I get my very own bathroom! I can finally put out the decorative towels...

I recently got sucked into Facebook, and am now addicted to it....Like I needed anything else to help me procrastinate!

Why is it that it is so easy to put off doing things? You know you are going to regret it later, but inexplicably, you procrastinate anyway. Sigh. I have so much to do, so much writing and other work, and yet here I am on blogger...

Pressure...

Christos defends on July 25, so that means I'm next!!!
