Water, water everywhere

And I’m stupid enough to go out in it. Not once but TWICE.

First … the water. Yesterday started the rainy trend. It rained on and off all day … really gloomy. Then I get up this morning and it’s still raining. And by looking at the radar, it’s gonna rain for most of the day. There’s a good sized water puddle in the parking lot of my apartment building. And there are some in the streets in places too. Lovely weekend … LOL.

Now … my being idiotic enough to go out in this TWICE. Clean up week starts on Monday. That’s where you can toss all of your old crap away. Maybe I should go out and see if I can find a chair that’s still in good condition for my apartment … LOL. Anyways … they had a tv/computer recycling even going on today between 9am and 2pm. I still have (or should I say had ;) ) the tower from my FIRST COMPUTER. Talk about old. There’s no hard drive in it any more … it’s in my current computer. That’s where I store everything I put on it … except for my music that is. The drive is WAY TOO SMALL to put music on it. I had held on to the thing because I had wanted to try to turn it into a test web server so I could work on my websites without having to upload changes to my host to check them out. But I found EasyPHP, so I didn’t need to do that anymore. It’s been taking up space in my closet for way too long. So I decided it was time to get rid of it.

So I ventured out into the rain. Thank goodness I didn’t have to get out in the rain to drop of the computer. I was able to do that inside the city’s Solid Waste Facility. I drove in, opened the trunk, answered a couple survey questions, and drove out. Simple as can be. I made a couple stops on my way home (got cash and stopped to get some pop to feed my soda-pop addiction … LOL).

I have to go back out again in a little over an hour. I have an appointment for an oil change and tire rotation. The place I’m going is very close … I can get there in less than 5 minutes. But I still have to go out in the rain. I had intended to walk home and then go back to get my car when they were done, but not since it’s raining. I’ll just have to take a book with me and sit there and read while I wait. He had told me it should only take 30 to 45 minutes. I would have scheduled it for this morning, but I had intended on going in to get my hair colored again this morning, so I can get rid of my “stripe” …. :D. Stupid hair has to keep growing after I color it … LOL. But there’s prom today, and Mona had an up-do to do or something. I could have gotten in around 11am, but that would have made it kinda rushed to be done by 1pm for my car appointment. So I decided to put it off a little longer. The color I got isn’t that far from my natural color, so the stripe isn’t horribly obvious … or at least other people have told me it’s not that bad (of course, I notice it and hate it). But I’m not really don’t anything until around the time of Mona’s wedding (the week of the fair … silly her for scheduling during that time … LOL), so I can live with my “stripe” for a while longer.

I just looked at the radar again. It looks like we’re going to be getting a break in the rain. Hopefully it’ll last until after I get back from my oil change. After that, I’m not going out again. Not unless Robin calls and needs a ride to the hospital. I need to give her a call to see how she’s doing. I think she’s more than ready for that little one to come out … LOL. Her due date WAS yesterday after all.
