Are we in the clear? Has Tropical Storm Barry really bypassed us? It\’s still  overcast, which has its plus side: my apartment doesn\’t turn into such an oven when it\’s cloudy all day.

But is the threat of torrential rain over? According to the weather site I just checked, there\’s an 80% chance of rain. Wind is 14 mph. Half of me wants to go ride around the park a few times, and half of me says the walking/biking path there is likely strewn with debris from the many oak trees.

Maybe I\’ll ride to the drug store after a while, just to get outside for a bit. I\’m starting to go stir-crazy! My leg muscles are starting to go soft from the lack of exercise. 🙁

Tomorrow it\’s back to the old salt mines. And this routine might be repeated anytime in the next four months or so. It\’s still hurricane season, and we can\’t be sure of staying in the clear.
