Rain, Rain, go away; don’t come back until
after the fall festival is over!
That would be nice; but probably isn’t
going to happen unless the forecasters are way, way off-base – and they weren’t
today. We have been getting a lot of
rain today; we’re supposed to get more tomorrow; and the temperature may not
even get much higher than the low-fifties between now and Sunday afternoon.
While we didn’t even bother trying to go to
the park to watch the rides being set up today; I can tell you that the people
doing the work there have had a miserable day – both the professionals and the
volunteers setting up tents and booths for the weekend festivities.
I stayed away from the park, and it was a
fairly quiet day around school and at the Inn because of the weather – and the
potential for having lousy weather for the next couple of days that won’t make
play time at the park much fun. That
really sucks for the kids of all ages who look forward to the festival every
year; but it is in October; and that’s bound to happen some years.
This was also a lousy day for football
practice; but our cheerleading workout was at noon and indoors; I did my
homework with Rebecca at the Inn after school before helping out with a very
light dinner rush; and then Michael and I had fun at game night. There wasn’t a big turnout for that either;
and we won the junior championship again this week.
The rest of my night was pretty much
standard work and study action along with some Jacuzzi time. It’s late now, and though I’m not any more
excited about the fall festival right now as any other teen around here –
especially as I listen to the rain continue to fall on the roof as I write
this; I have gotten my work done now and can take the weekend off to play with
my family and friends.
Now I just need to hope that we’ll get to
do that without being perpetually wet for the next seventy-two hours or so.
Too bad Mom wouldn’t let me do something
about that, but it would be tough to explain an eye in the storm the size of
the park with the sun shining and the temperature in the mid-seventies while it
rained everywhere else in the area. I
could probably do a heated dome too, and either option would be really cool to
do; but that isn’t going to happen, so I’ll just deal with whatever Mother
Nature sends our way – just like everyone else will.
I’m going to go to sleep now, and maybe we’ll
wake up to a minor weather miracle. You,
reading this in my future will know how that works out by flipping the digital
page and reading on, but I’ll have to wait to find out in real time; so, until
next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
