lightning and bunnies

alonewiththemoonThe thunderstorm last night was magnificent, but it did not exactly provide for a restful night's sleep, something I could really, really use round about now. Once I was awake, I got up to use the bathroom, and on my way to and from the bathroom a part of my brain thought, "Wouldn't it be creepy if in one of these lightning flashes you saw something like Frank the rabbit standing in the dining room or the study?"
*Lightning flash*
Other part of brain: "AAIIEEEEEE!!! Shut the fuck up!!!!!"
Managed to doze slightly during the storm, but after the storm finished the real torture began--the gutters had overflowed in the torrential downpour, and so there was a steady drip-drip-drip landing with resonance on the metal air conditioner. Actually, it wouldn't have been so bad if it were steady; it was more like drip...drip...drip...drip... ... ... dripdripdrip... drip... drip... etc. It was also more of a thud-drip than just a drip. Earplugs actually made it worse, since that just muffled the sound of the a/c and made the dripping more distinct. At 5:30 I gave up, put on pants and went outside to put a towel over the a/c to muffle the sound. Then I slept ever so blissfully until 7:30, and the only way I could convince myself to get out of bed was the promise that I could buy myself a currant scone from Quebrada on my way to work. This will be a long, slow afternoon...
