Plenty of Rain, No Walk, Lots of Oppression

We’re under a severe thunderstorm alert. So I guess no power walk…

I’ve heard the thunder for the last 2 hours. Well it looks like the sky’s ready to split open. I just got a lovely little message from the county that we are under a severe thunderstorm warning until 10 tonight.

I’m actually happy. Not because my walk’s cancelled. Hopefully this will break the humidity. Best way to describe the last couple of days – oppressive.  Today it’s 91 but feels closer to 100 degrees. Not great for us fatties!

Tomorrow’s forecast – sunny and 79. Now that’s walking weather!

Do’h. Major lightning strike. Your humble weather chick is logging off.

P.S.

I used the word “oppressive” in this post and it made me think of the video below. It has nothing to do with the weather, but it is about oppression.  Carry on.

Don’t Make The Weather Gods Angry…

Why does it rain as soon as I step outside? Simple. I have angered the Weather Gods.

...You Won’t Like Them When They Are Angry.

I’m convinced. The Weather Gods decided to screw with me today. I awoke to a hot, humid, rainy morning.  Not too conducive to power walking.

Not a problem.  I spent the morning with one of the dogs at the vet for some allergy meds. “I’ll walk after the vet visit.” Or so I thought.

While at the vet the sun teased me, shinning ever so brightly.  I hurried home, suited up and stepped outside.  The downpour commenced.

Bastards!

So I kept myself busy with cleaning, hanging the new shower curtain, doing laundry – making sure to go up and down the stairs as many times as possible. I have so much pent-up energy that I don’t know what to do with myself.

I’m waiting for 6:00 pm to roll around. As I keep an eye on the weather, it’s clear I’ve lost the favor of the Weather Gods.  It’s now 91 degrees out – 99 with the humidity – and I see black clouds rolling in from the west.  Possibility of a thunderstorm at 6:00 pm – 70%. Sigh.

Saturday’s forecast is worse.

The Weather Gods demand a sacrifice. Perhaps I can invoke the mystical help of an ancient Mayan jaguar goddess.

Or better yet, I’ll just shell out the $7 fee and use the treadmill at the country REC center. That will teach them to mess with me!
