september storms

After my flash of common sense brilliance of stacking one mattress on top of the other, I promptly fell asleep last night. It wasn't something that I had planned. My intention was to just lie down for about an hour or so, but the next thing that I knew it was two in the morning. I guess the rain falling through most of the night helped me sleep this time. It doesn't matter though. At least I felt more human at the start of the day than I did yesterday.

To be more accurate with all of the sleep that I got from falling asleep early, I was positively hyperactive for most of the day. Maybe this would have been okay, if I could have gone outside to do something, but it has been raining almost non-stop for the past two days and going outside really didn't seem that appealing to me. Getting thoroughly soaked and possibly ill as a result was not something that I wanted to do. So instead of going outside I ended up cleaning my house for most of the day, which made the day drag and was a less than exciting end to my weekend.

With the rain, lack of sun and cooler temperatures it really is starting to feel like autumn, the only part that is missing is the fall colors, but that will happen soon enough. It wasn't depressing, but every time that I looked out the window it was still raining which was almost a novelty. Despite the hurricane problems on the east coast it hasn't rained in weeks here.

I guess I prefer this kind of weather to the inner emotional storm that I was having a year ago.
