It Cannot Rain on My Parade

The PNE must be on. It's still raining and the weather has been really quite awful since yesterday. July can be nice and often September and October is. It does seem, however, that in mid-August a few big storms line up in the Pacific. They can keep the climate wet and grey for a number of days. That's what's on at the moment. It has been like this from the time I woke up yesterday morning. One could easily mistake these days for being in February by just looking out the window. It's a fair bit warmer than that though.

It's okay. This weather arrived at the right time for I don't mind sitting around inside. In the past three months, I was only under contract for five weeks. After a hectic start to the year, it always takes me quite a while to get into this comfortable frame of mind.

No, I've not painted the living room walls. No, I've not yet cleaned the inside of the truck. I still haven't taken the winter blankets up to the laundromat for washing either. Yet, these things aren't nibbling on the back of my consciousness. I don't feel bad about any of it. I can keep myself occupied. I spent a good portion of yesterday afternoon making changes here. For example, the little screen-shot image points to my modified archive page. As my eJournal and images turns five years old on Labour Day, I decided that I needed to make accessing the wealth of my personal thoughts a tad easier. Click the little image to see the results of my efforts. I bet you didn't even notice some of the wording under my photo to the right on every page had changed.

There was time in the afternoon to make tea and curl up with Jumper by Steven Gould. I generally make use of our city library by checking out CDs, DVDs, and travel guides. When at the library recently, I thought it was time to pick up a few science fiction titles.
