Thunder

I know, this is non-knitting related, but I just feel like writing for the sake of writing.

I had a much better day today than yesterday. Recieved a lovely rejection letter in the mail from HYRS, which was alright. I cried a little more, but I think I'm fine now. But, one door closes, another opens. I'm going to Ontario with Patrick earlier now. We leave July 27 and get back August 10. It'll be nice to get away from everything. From work, from my town, and as bad as it sounds, my family.
We love each other, but in all honesty, we drive one another completely batty.

It's thundering now. The kind of thunder that starts as a deep rumble somewhere off in the distance, and washes over everything in a matter of a few seconds, leaving the most absolute calm in its wake. The kind of thunder that precedes a warm rain storm, complete with flashes of light that are bright enough to read by, if only for a few seconds. And you can't help but drop whatever it is that you're doing and run outside to stand in the rain. It soaks straight through almost instantly, but you're completely oblivious, because there's electricity in the air, and nothing else really matters because you're right here right now and everything is so calm and smells so good, and nothing could possibly go wrong because you are here.

That's pretty much how I feel today. I'll post about knitting tomorrow.
