| | My wife's alarm went off at 4:55am. I haven't woken up early by myself like I normally do. So I got up. We both went upstairs to go to the bathroom. Luckily we have two working bathrooms now. When I came back downstairs I heard something crash. I'm still not sure what it was. I asked Vickie what that noise was, but she said she didn't hear anything. So I looked out the window and noticed it had been or was raining. Vickie got upset because she was dressed to go running, but she doesn't like to run in the rain. I do. So I got dressed and went for a run. It was just barely sprinkling. There was more people out than I would have expected. I saw two ladies in front of me when I got to the Floodway. I wondered if they were the same ones from yesterday. But they kept walking, so I knew they weren't. I saw a man running towards me with a dog and right away knew it was Jesse Lee. We said good morning to each other. Then I passed the ladies going really slow. Much slower than yesterday. They were old ladies. One of them said, "That's how we feel some times." I said, "I know." But the truth is, I have no idea what they were talking about. Did I look like I was about to die? Probably.
I got to the other side of the Floodway and saw a lady walking towards me. Edythe? Yep. She was wearing jeans. No running today. When I passed by her I said, "No umbrella?" She said, "I know, right? It feels good!" I agreed. It had started to come down a little more, but not too much. When I got home I skimmed the leaves out of my pool. By the time I was done my shirt was soaked. I bet 70% of it was sweat, though.
