Rainy Day

[qos]

Well, I'm back home again.
The road I usually take to work was closed down when I returned.
The highway was a mess.
I declared my commute over, called my boss, and told him I'd see him tomorrow.

I'm now sitting in my cozy home, with my gas fireplace going, and the rain still coming down outside -- although it finally seems to be easing up.

The downstairs of the apartment complex's office is flooded.

I am not flooded.

I am not flooded.

That's gotta be a good feeling.

Is it really that bad?

Seriously, how bad is the storm? All of my friends have been pointing out that this awful storm is exactly the reason I should stay in California. Of course, California never has weather that's bad enough to warrant missing work...so I guess that will take some getting used to. Any ideas if it'll lighten up by early January? I'm arriving on the 4th.

btw, I am so thankful to hear you're not flooded. I remember reading horror stories about your other place.

Well, we've been the lead story on CNN.com off and on since the storm hit.

It's bad enough south of here that a couple of miles of I-5 have been closed. One of our buildings in Bothell had to be sandbagged. Seven people have been killed by the flood.

Thanks for the good wishes. The storm has been over since Monday, but it's going to take a while for some of the waters to recede.

No hard feelings, but I'm going to delete your comment once I post this. I never put my daughter's name on my LJ. Again: no hard feelings, just my protocol. (I've had to it to my sister a couple of times. . .)
