Forget raining cats and dogs. Last night’s storm sounded
like an entire zoo in the sky. At three am I got out of bed to use the bathroom,
my bladder feeling full after hearing so much water fall outside. I’d been
asleep (kind of) for four hours and the rain had woken me at least ten times.
This is not good for blogging--I need rest in order to dream up funny blogs!
But the whole thing got me wondering: was I waking up because of the intensity
of the storm or because we’re not used to rain in San Diego? In places where it
rains a lot, do people just sleep right through everything but the very loudest
storms? Note to self: ask friends in rainier places…
I know our garden beds will be happy for the rain. We are in
drought conditions here, and we definitely need rain. And my car did need a
wash. But after a restless night listening to the percussion section in the
sky, this California non-dreamer needs a nap…
