Maybe we escaped the mudslides and toxic ash runoff that would have been our fate had the rain been worse but it looks like just a few more hours and it’s over for now.

But I’ve been a little sick. You know that hacking cough with no other symptoms, the cough that makes your ribs hurt. It started Thursday when Cecilia was here to get the nurse’s rental turned over, but not so bad so I went out with Sharon on Friday. I cancelled my plans for Saturday and Sunday and just lazed around. Today, Sunday, was a good day to laze around and enjoy the rain.
