flood

Today I got caught in two floods. First I was swamped in a deluge of meetings. Then, on our way to the last meeting (which was really a Hebrew class) we got drenched in an actual downpour.

I felt like I was going flat out all day. Two skype meetings, then a lunch meeting. A bit of time at home doing some design work and then homework for the Hebrew class.

Mr. taught a Bible class at 4 and was going to pick me up by 5 so that we could get across town for Hebrew. By 4:30 the sky opened up and poured. I wondered if we could just stay in tonight. It was still raining steadily when Mr. walked in the door at 5 'til 5. I asked him if we were still going to class, and he said, "Well, I'm already wet."

It's true. He was soaked. I wasn't, but that didn't seem to bother him! :-)

So we wrapped our text books in plastic bags, and ourselves in flimsy plastic rain ponchos, piled on the motorbike and took off across town. Not only did we get wet from the rain, about half the roads we took were flooded, so we got splashed from below as well.

It took about half an hour, but we made it to class. The top half of me had fared pretty well, but from the waist down I was soaked. I enjoyed the lesson and was glad we had decided to brave the elements. However, the room was air conditioned, and by the time class was over I was freezing. Cold nose, cold hands, and numb legs. Mr. was cold too, but he loved every minute of it.

I suggested we go get pho for supper. What a good choice. That hot, steamy bowl of soup warmed me from the inside out. Mmmmm. It was exactly what I needed.

Home again, we vegged out watching a bit of TV. Now I'm ready to chase the kitty around a little and get to bed. Can't wait to cuddle down under warm covers. I realize it's in the 80's, but hey—I got quite a chill today.
