So I hear we’re going to have anywhere from one-half to two inches of rain today. I can’t even remember the last time it rained. The problem is that I’ve got half the contents of my garage out on the patio while the inside’s being painted.

This morning the skies were looking mighty pissed and ready to roll, so I hustled out there in my jammies and clogs to lug all cardboard boxes, pictures, leftover broken-down boxes from mom’s move that are still here because I had a place to store them and could feed them to recycling over the next couple months, chandelier, pool towels & luggage, and finally the boxed Christmas tree back into the garage and left them on the tarps that are still down because the painter can’t finish until Saturday.

Lastly, I pulled one of his massive plastic tarps off the stuff in the garage (sorry, Jon) and put it over the rest of the stuff I couldn’t budge off the patio. I’ve got a six-foot tower made up of all kinds of treasure stuffed into a baker’s rack right next to the teak table, all wrapped in plastic that I hope will repel rain as well as it repelled about twelve gallons of primer and paint. It doesn’t look very promising, but luckily it’s right in front of my face outside the window where I sit so I can get out there if the wind picks it up and decides to run with it.

Other than that, I’ll be hunkered down under a blanket on the couch, drinking coffee, watching Lost, and being happy about being called back for a second interview at a very nice job.
