I had to be in early for the rats, and I got my downlow glow on. It is beautiful. I did not have room for my rain pants, because I had put my basket on my daughter's bike so she could bike to school, since the car is going to the shop today. Her backpack is so heavy it's hard to bike wearing it, and it's even heavier right now because she has a lot of homework to make up from the 2 days she was sick.

When she called frantically just as we were finished with the rats, because her chain had come off and she couldn't get it back on, it was raining. I raced across town to catch up with her, fixed her bike, and accompanied her the rest of the way to school to sign her in since she was late by then.

I feel pretty bad that she has to bike to school in the rain while she's still getting over a cold.

It was getting late but I thought I might still get a short swim in. But even the indoor pool closes when there's thunder. Something about it not being grounded.

Back at work I changed into a dry shirt but my pants were cold and wet. I cursed my foolishness at not having brought and worn my expensive and highly effective goretex rain pants. But within an hour they had dried enough that rain drops showed up on them when I walked across campus.

Now I'm waiting to hear back on what is wrong with the car and how much it will cost, and I will bring the rain pants tomorrow, therefore it will NOT rain because this goretex stuff is magical that way!
