rain and more

[jazzfish]

The weirdly scattered rain yesterday meant that I got a rainbow on my way to D&D yesterday afternoon. Nice fat bands, and an end somewhere near the East Falls Church metro station. I didn't see it for long; maybe thirty seconds, before I turned off the main road. Still, it made me happy.

Then afterwards a good solid thunderstorm for a bi. Jagged white lightning all across the sky on my way home, and enough rain that at times I couldn't see ten feet in front of me. I've missed weather.

This morning the air had cooled off and dried out enough that running was just a touch easier than the past few days. Too, the heavy rain meant the trees were still soaked, so every time a breeze came through I got a mini-rainstorm. Made for an almost pleasant run.

I feel . . . restless. Wanting to do something different. It's not burnout, or if it is then I've been burnt out for years. It's not a need for a nap or an evening Off. It's just. . . overexposure, maybe. Today I like where I am except that it bores me.

Sunday is likely to be a day of Buying Things. Perhaps Vibrams, perhaps a new desk chair.

Oh gosh, I know. I can't believe I've been back on the mainland for this long already. I still miss Hawaii a lot, but if I spend a lot of time thinking about it I realize that I don't remember the minutiae as clearly as I used to... you know, the street names, the best way to get to that one beach, etc. I guess that just leaves the important stuff, like feeling of floating in the Pacific ocean on a cool morning, or the sight of the almost-daily rainbows.

I've been ridiculously busy since I moved out here. Grad school, and buying a house, and entertaining all the family that thought the flight to Hawaii was too long but are now eager to be a bigger part of our lives. I'm sure my level of busy-ness is not going to decrease significantly any time soon, but I sure would love to hang out with you folks before you end up moving to Canada or the like. :) What does your schedule for August look like?
