It’s still raining. I’m not complaining though. It’s not been all that bad since I didn’t have to go anywhere for most of the weekend and it was rather pleasant staying indoors and watching the drops fall. Being on a hillside (and not having to deal with the repercussions of the fall wildfires), I had no rain related problems here at the house. The only thing I had to deal with was convincing Murphy to take advantage of the breaks in the rain to go outside for a pee break. He’s done relatively well and it seems like the rain has ended for now. There may be a bit more tomorrow, but I think this is it for awhile. BTW, Kevin, they just announced on the news that LA has now officially received 2.5″ more rain than Seattle since Jan 1st! I think the difference between us and you is that we get inches at a time where it’s just an ongoing sprinkling with occasional sunbreaks in Seattle.

Went out to breakfast this morning with Patrick and Veronica for an early birthday meal. Robin’s Restaurant down the street from us is now serving breakfast on weekends, and it was fabulous! I had lemon-raspberry pancakes and sausage and some really good coffee. And, of course, we had to start off with a big order of sizzling ‘shrooms for all of us to snack on before our meals arrived. Thanks again, Patrick and Veronica, for a wonderfully delicious Sunday morning breakfast.

Spent the rest of the weekend talking with friends and family on the phone, watching tv, doing a few tax returns and some cleaning…and, of course, playing Animal Crossing on my Nintendo DS. I am totally addicted to this game! The word is out that Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Wii will be released sometime in 2008. OMG! As soon as I know the release date, I’ll be buying myself a Wii.

Am also spending lots of time reading about the upcoming election and all the primary election results. I’m started to get excited about politics once again and was thrilled to see the Kennedy endorsements of Obama.

Healthwise, I’m feeling great once again. Had a few days at the end of last week where I experienced day long headaches, but all that went away this weekend. We’ll see how I feel once I get back to work tomorrow.

Meanwhile I’m relaxing for the next hour or so before bed. All in all it was a wet but good weekend.
