Rain Rain Go Away

It's been stormy here. Most of the East and Midwest are dealing with flooding, various storms, and general misery. It rains every afternoon around 5p for hours. Not like in Florida, where it rains in the afternoon for a quick sprinkle.  

When I was a kid, after a summer rain, it smelled so good to me.  

The weather was a little cooler, and the humidity seemed to go down.

As an adult living in the south, I don't find any of that statement to be true today.

It was only 100 the other day, and it stormed. Power outages, several inches of more rain, and wind.  But when it stopped, we went outside, and it was hotter and more humid.  The temp that night went to 89 as our low.  So much for hoping for cooler weather. I don't know that there is a place that is cool right now. 

We are thankful we are not in a flood zone, but then again, some areas like Chapel Hill are considered a minimum risk, and they were underwater, and several businesses and plazas are completely shut down and/or lost.  

I hope wherever you are, you are high and dry and you have blue skies and sunshine. (and cool temps like 75)

Due to all this rain, we've been indoors a lot more. 

We made popcorn one afternoon and watched a movie.

Oh boy, did I make a bad choice. Yep, it was Peg's choice, and I messed up.

It was called The Watcher.  It was on Netflix.  Have you seen it?

I saw all the great actors in this and thought, let's give it a try.

I should have assumed it would be creepy, but apparently I am a ditz.

Rick said, "The name didn't give you a clue?"

As it got more and more creepy, I couldn't sit and watch this. I had to move around. I folded clothes, did laundry, etc, all the while listening to this.  

I played a game on my phone while Rick was so entrenched in this show. I'd watch but with one eye kind of thing.

I watched it all the way through with him. Well, sort of.  He loved it. I knew it was based on a true story, so I shared that with him. His response was, "OMG I'd have moved out of that house the first day all that shit happened."

I reminded him of when people told us that same thing when we lived in a haunted house.

Well, that's different, he explained.  Those were annoyances from dead people. These are people who are alive and want to hurt us.

I actually saw his point, which made me laugh a bit. Yes, I'd have moved out probably before the letter arrived. LOL

Have you seen this?  Still, it was less frightening than the news, that is for sure.
