Thunder Storms

Thunder storms are amazing. Sunday, after being extremely hot all on Saturday and trying to sleep in 85 degrees (which was the low that night), I decided to walk to church, a good 45 to 50 minute walk. The walk was in part because I was feeling poor, in part because I really just wanted to walk, and mostly just because I could. At least the church building was air conditioned. Then afterwards I walked to the bus stop and made my way home. After having lunch I packed up my laundry and headed to the Laundromat, which was gross and hot. Even with several fans blowing I was drenched in sweat after 10 minutes. Then right as I was getting ready to pull my dry laundry out of the dryer, it begins to pour. I had missed an hint of the storm coming, other then the gathering darkness.

Luckily by the time I was done folding my laundry the rain had slowed to a gentle mist. I made my way back to my apartment with a bag of laundry, a purse, a jug of laundry detergent, and an umbrella over my head (I'm sure I looked ridiculous). Once in my apartment I threw open all the windows in the hope of getting rid of all the hot air. Of course 20 minutes later I was closing them again as the heavens decided it was time to open up and I had rain driving its self into my apartment.

The wonderful thing is that last night it was a whole 10 degrees cooler in my room and I slept amazingly. 75 is so much better then 85. I love thunder storms!
