Here Comes the Sun, La La La La

So after about three days of vicious rain, I had nearly forgotten what the sun looked like. On Saturday my mother and I had to slosh through our flooded backyard and try to clear some drains, because the water was starting to find its way into the house. The basement is constantly under at least three inches of water, and we've lost lots of books. I've also lost old photos as well. And while I was upset last night to go down there and find my photo album and another box of pictures floating around in the wet, I have to admit I was intrigued to see that a box of colored pencils had also fallen into the water, and since they were watercolor pencils too, the water around them was beautifully spotted with pretty colors. I don't know if the pencils will be any good or not once they've dried out, but at least they had that one shining moment of glory.

But anyway, the sun is out today and I'm happy because of it. I love the sun. I also love chili, which my mom made last night. It was delicious.

I'm not as happy about the fact that I have a writing deadline today at noon and I am procrastinating (as usual). The article is all written, except for a catchy paragraph at the beginning. I know you are supposed to try and "hook" readers into reading what you've written, but it's hard when your subject is a local drycleaning business. Writer's block looms. Sigh...

I'm also not happy that my blogs have not been very funny lately. I wonder if I've lost my sense of humor? I hope not. I don't think so though. If I had, I would have beat up my co-worker for calling me a Jesus freak the other day, but I didn't. I just threw my Bible at his head and laughed merrily as it knocked him out cold.

Oh wait, I didn't do that, either. Dang. That might have been kind of funny, actually.
