A Storm is Moving In

It was a grey morning, and a windy afternoon.  This evening, as I sat at the computer, facing  north, I saw some lightning, and heard some thunder.

It was supposed to be cold today, but that did not happen.  It is supposed to be cold tonight and tomorrow, we will see.

There are winter storm warnings and advisories in the area, but not in Lubbock.  We shall see what happens.

A Gray Day

It was a gray day.  There were showers at various times during the day.  I kept the windows locked open, except when I was out running errands.  It is cool out.  The house is holding at 70°.  It should be good sleeping weather tonight.   I did not sleep good last night and after a brief nap, I stayed up until after 4 AM, reading.  Even when I went to bed, I did not go to sleep for a while. And I had some weird dreams.  So, it was not restful sleep. I woke up about 8:40 AM and could not go back to sleep, which was just as well.  But I was slow at getting going this morning.  (Don't you just hate that phrase, "getting going?" But I use it anyway.)   My back hurt a little today.  It was just muscle, eased by an analgesic patch. And aggravated by my being tired.  I thought I would be able to go to sleep early tonight, but not yet, after 10:30 PM.  Everything was gray about the day.
