A Drink Of Water

When did I start slurping my coffee!? Every sip taken this morning has been loud and... and... well, SLURPY! Have I always slurped or just now noticing how peace-shattering it sounds in a perfectly quiet house? NOT a pleasant sound. 
Okay... no slurp that last sip. Nice and quiet and dainty-like. 
OH, for Pete's sake!?,
HAVE I ALWAYS SWALLOWED MY COFFEE THIS LOUD!!!???
I am bound and determined to fill the silence this morning with vulgar noises. Shouldn't have said that... there are worse noises I could be making... wow, I have a filthy monitor screen... I need to go make my lunch... oh! Is it raining out!?
It's raining out! Rained yesterday, too! What is it about stormy weather that interferes with the phone service? I can't get the weather report. Well, that's a fine how do you do! Me and the WeeGees have a relationship that relies on the morning report. Stupid service... ok, I'm over it. Lets see if the computer will give me the weather.
64° (stupid phone service), with heavy rain at the moment which means overcast (duh), no humidity listed and the winds are (stupid phone service) 16 mph out of the South.
Picture if you will a Cat who doesn't want a bath and to prevent this bath it doesn't want, it straddles whatever tub the bath is to take place in with all four limbs and then proceeds to dig in for all it's worth, to keep from going into the water. Got that picture? Now replace the Cat in that picture with a Cell Phone that has suddenly sprouted legs. That was my Phone this morning at the Front door.
 We never made it to the Porch. Phone was not going out into that rain. No. Huh-uh. NOT happenin'.
Hey! The weather! Phone decided to cooperate. 65°, 93% humidity, 12 mph winds from the South with gusts up to 22 mph and Heavy Rain/Fog/Mist, accompanied by a local Flood Advisory until 8:30 am. Explains why Phone balked at the door.
I think I drank too much coffee this morning. Did I even attempt a WIP? Yes, I remember I did. Camera, who was much more agreeable with the notion of going out, BRIEFLY, into the rain, was playing with the flash.
The rain showed up as Sparklys in Camera's light!
Have a great grand and glorious day today. I am going to go to work now. On my way, I am going to enjoy the rain. And also, the sound of a thirsty Earth and all it's flora, at least in this neck of the woods, taking a long drink of much needed water.
Live Laugh Love, My Fellow Travelers of this Incredible Universe.
