I like the sound of the rain when I am waking up and going to sleep. And I love what it does for the plants. I am really happy that we have had so much rain--I hope they will announce soon that the drought is over (at least for now). However, I would really like to see the sun a bit more. Interestingly, warm rainy days are colder in the house than sunny cold days. I want the sun to shine in my windows again! That day is coming, according to the forecast, but not today or tomorrow. In fact, as the temperatures are going down and the rain continues, we have a chance of snow for Thursday. This is fun and exciting, but we will have to see what happens. Everything will stop if it snows in Athens.

Yesterday's really good news was my positive meeting with Kate, the coordinator of the Athens Village. I will start my internship there next week, and will work about 12 hours a week, Tuesday and Wednesday. There is a lot of variety and challenge that will be interesting, but nothing very difficult in my book. She is excited to have me, so that is great.

We walked a little in the morning, meeting Elisa's ride on the road. Molli came about 11, after a crisis with one of Becky's dogs getting loose. He was gone about an hour, but came back and all is well now.

Ray went to class. Molli and I spent a little time working on cleaning the sunroom. My heart wasn't in it, but it is much improved although there is more to do for sure. She drove me to the Council on Aging and then we went to Earth Fare and got some groceries. We had to stop first and eat some frozen yogurt because she didn't have any lunch. She took me to Ray's building, where the car was. I started to get Elisa, but Ray called to say he was ready to leave. We picked her up and drove her to Oconee County so she could ride. We were there right at 4:15, but she probably needs to get there earlier if possible, so she can be saddled up by then.

Ray drove me home and I made some soup with sausage and zucchini while he went back for her. The soup was well received. Ray had time to do all the dishes--and we watched Wheel of Fortune--before we headed to UGA to watch the ballet. Russian. Cinderella. It was lovely. Sadly, I dozed a lot. I don't believe I snored or bothered anyone, except Ray, who tried to wake me up from time to time. It was really warm in the theater.

We had to watch a little more TV and eat popcorn when we got home. Elisa appeared to be asleep.
