Who Says It Never Rains in California???

They should be here now...not to mention last month (wasn't it last month?) when we had days upon days of downpour and much flooding.

But, this time around, not only do we have days upon days of downpour, but we've had several days of thunder and lightning and other neat stuff.

Today, on my way home, my brave Pruis, Terra, and I swam through many flooded streets and intersections. It rained so hard I couldn't see the cars around me even with my windshield wipers on high. We had the most AWESOME display of thunder and lightning...AND...we were severely hailed upon!!!

WHOA!

Yes, last time I looked, I still lived in southern California.

And, the Santa Fe Dam floodgates are open again--all of them. And, the flood control channel is even higher and more raging than last time.

Coooooool!

Perhaps I'm easily amused???

Ahhhh...Monday's Over

That's a good thing. Though I seriously loved the weather today.

Found out that the owner might shut down the facility next week to "make a point" to some of our customers. If he does, we're all off for a week with NO pay and we CAN'T take vacation.

However, if I can get my rent and car payment and a few other bills covered, I've decided that I might actually ENJOY the week off. I haven't had a vacation in many years and could really use some time to rest and relax and write. That would be cool.

I'm having this feeling of loss at having split up my HUGE novel into the three smaller components. I think it gave me a sense of accomplishment to watch it grow larger in spite of all the crap going on at work.

Hopefully, I'll adjust to the three smaller novels soon. For now, I'm going to use any of the three to accumulate my 1,000 word goal for the day.

Then, in a few days, when I'm re-plotted, I'm just going to work on Book 1, The Chosen Ones until it's finished.

But, for now...
