I actually had my hours in before the storm blew through this afternoon, and considered going home, but I did not accomplish everything I wanted to accomplish. I say I am more task oriented. I am charged to be at the prison 40 hours a week. I do that, or take leave. But, I often stay longer if I have not completed my to do list Today was one of those days.
So, my car was in the parking lot, unprotected when the storm blew through. There was nothing I could do about it. The hail damage was minor.
When I got home, it was too early to feed the cats for dinner. I chose not to go to the pool. Although the sky cleared, it cleared and clouded. I decided I did not want to risk another sudden storm. And, I knew I wanted to do some yard work.
When I first got home, Haiku and Taki met me at the door. That is pretty typical. But, they stayed with me as I wandered through the house, putting up my bag, hanging up my coat. I sat on the sofa, and both wanted to be right with me. Uncharacteristically, Taki wanted to be on my lap. Haiku usually wants to be on my lap, but she seemed satisfied to be able to sit near me so I could pet her. Although there was no evidence of hail at the house, I was not surprised. Most of the hail at work had melted by the time I left. So I suspect that there was hail at my house, and it had already melted, but the noise of it spooked the cats. Sake was no where around. When the weather gets bad, she hides. She did not come out until she heard me fixing dinner. But, that tells me she was not happy with the noise of the storm, either. Well, they are safe.
