It rained all night and throughout the day today.Some areas have warnings about potential flooding since there will be 1-2 inches accumulating in most areas with some spots getting more than that. I was going to head out to the grocery store, but decided to stay inside today and do my errands tomorrow once the rain stops. Due to the heavy cloud cover I expect we won't see the full moon tonight. I did see it a couple of days ago and it was big and bright. Hopefully, we'll get to see the moon tomorrow, though.
While inside today, I had a phone meeting and a chat with a friend. While paying my telecommunications bill, I noticed an odd item included, so I called the carrier to sort it out. Their system was down so they were unable to look into my account to see what was up. I called back a few hours later -- as suggested by the first agent -- but the system was still down. This agent offered to call me back once the thing was functional again -- likely early evening. That conversation took five calls each wading through the myriad menus only to get to the end and be disconnected -- once just as an agent answered. <sigh> I noted the absurdity of calling a phone company only to have the phone call be incomplete. <rolling eyes loudly>.
Rain often appears as a metaphor for sadness or difficult times in life. While the day was like twilight at the brightest, the rain is sorely needed for gardens, crops and flowers. With over 24 hours of rain, we should be OK for a while, depending on upcoming temperatures. One song came to mind today for the positive way it presents rain -- something that helps things -- including us -- grow. Keep safe. Enjoy!
The Rain Song -- Led Zeppelin
