6 p.m. update: This is SO depressing. It has not stopped raining for at least 24 hours and the forecast for 6 am tomorrow is still calling for a 70% chance of rain. I don't think I've seen the sun since Saturday. I hear the indoor trainer calling me. Noooooo! Not that. Anything but that.
The sound of rain and wet tires out on the street was bad enough this morning, but what I really didn't need was the drip, drip, drip of water leaking through the hallway ceiling onto the floor. Yeah, yeah, I know I've had that little leak for years, but the last time there was actually enough steady rain for it to drip onto the floor was during a hurricaine about four years ago.
Needless to say, there will be no riding today. It has not stopped raining since around mid-day yesterday. After work yesterday we stopped at the grocery store to pick up some dog food. It was pouring down rain, and I guess my first mistake was to drop The Wife off at the door, thus sparing her the mental picture of what it would be like loading and unloading the car. By the time we got out of the Winn Dixie, to the tune of $200+, we had a full shopping cart, of course. So I ran out to get the car and drive it around so it would be near the door. The parking lot was now pretty much under a few inches of water in some places, one of which I promptly located with my right foot. By the time the car was loaded up, I was pretty well soaked, and of course by the time we got the groceries into the house I was both soaked and angry.
At least we had some nice Gumbo left over for dinner! I'm hoping for better weather tomorrow, because the thought of breaking out the indoor trainer is giving me a headache!
