A wet beginning is what we\’re getting for this weekend.

It had been gradually clouding up all day. Shortly before 3 pm I heard some faint grumbles. I thought they might be thunder, but the window unit makes such a racket that I couldn\’t be sure.

Soon it began to rain a little, on and off. I had been considering riding to the supermarket after I clocked out of work. I really want to sleep in tomorrow morning! The weather was making me have second thoughts.

By the time I was off work, I was hungry. I fixed and ate some supper. About 5:30, I glanced at the window. It has a curtain, of course, but it looked like it had gotten darker out there. I heard the wind getting  up, too.

I went and took a peek at the sky. It looked rather menacing, and it was starting to rain again. Shortly it began to rain quite hard, and it began to thunder. I decided it was the better part of wisdom  to stay home.

There isn\’t anything that I need urgently. I just don\’t care much for the idea of trying to go to the store during the week. I clock in to start work at 8:00 am; and clock out at 4:30 pm. It would be difficult to go before work. After work, I often simply don\’t feel like it.

On second thought, working from home makes flex time much easier. I can punch in a little late and either take a short lunch break; or work a little later in the evening. So yes, it would be possible to make a grocery run before work!

Incidentally, it might not be a bad idea to keep myself out of grocery stores this weekend. If I go, I\’m apt to buy more food to do more cooking. And I\’ve simply GOT to stop cooking for a while!

I\’m glad a wet beginning to a weekend doesn\’t mean it will rain all weekend long. It looks like tomorrow and Sunday will be OK.
