It’s raining.
It’s been raining for three days, which is a big deal where I live. We don’t get much rain out here. I love it. I’m a desert boy. Rain is probably my favorite weather.
Everything outside is getting a drink. The plants look better. The birds are out in it.
I’m trying to get ready to go. Just finishing my chores.
Then the cat comes over.
She wants pets. Bad.
She cuts right between my legs, and I almost trip.
“Hold on. I’m trying to get ready.”
She does it again.
I almost go down a second time.
Then she knocks over my coffee cup.
Bang.
Luckily, it’s empty. Nothing spills. It doesn’t break.
The cat runs off.
Then somehow my glasses flip backward and get caught in my hair.
I don’t even know how that happens.
I’m standing there trying to pull them loose when the lightning starts getting worse.
Flash.
Thunder.
Then the doorbell rings.
I stop.
What now?
The Thunder cracked and for some reason my cat ran across my feet and through the living room to try to get to my bedroom to get underneath the bed. Ouch! My glasses are stuck in my hair. Lightning is going off outside, and somebody is ringing the doorbell.
It always seems to happen like that.
You can sit around for an hour and forty five minutes and nothing happens. Everything is quiet. Then all of a sudden, one thing happens.
Then another.
Then another.
Cat.
Cup.
Glasses.
Lightning.
Doorbell.
Everything at once.
For a minute, I’m just standing there thinking, what is going on?
But I get the glasses loose. The cup is fine. I open the door it's a UPS delivery.
Now I’m going to make some more coffee, sit down, and watch the rain from the balcony.
Hopefully nothing else happens for a while.
