Rain, and then some

Woke up this morning at 5:45 and the first thing I noticed was the rain pounding hard on the window. My running clothes had been put out last night in anticipation of a good run to work off some of those Cadbury Eggs. Damn. No ralking today.

The next thing I notice is that I have a bad headache, my gut hurts (too many Cadbury Eggs?) and my legs are like noodles. I got dressed in my regular clothing and ate my usual yogurt and shredded wheat while reading the paper (boring news day). My mood worsened.

Ah ha!! Who cares if it's raining outside. Changed into the running clothes and headed out. After ninety minutes of ralking I was soaked through all three layers and my shoes and socks needed wringing out. But the headache was gone, the gut is fine and the legs are ready to go again tomorrow.

Came home and ate a Cadbury Egg. Yes, they are almost gone.

Some of you were already introduced to my lair-mate yesterday. You liked him so much that I decided to let everyone else meet him.
This guy has been living in the window sill right in front of my computer for two days. He is a fast little bugger and I can't catch him to relocate him outside. As long as he doesn't wander across my keyboard I guess he can stay. Maybe he doesn't like the rain.

As long as you insist on posting photos of your Aragog I will no longer be visiting your blog.

creepy.

Gag! HE'S HUGE! Do I need to send you a can of spider killer?

athena said...

I think he's super cute! As long as he stays at your house!

Eris and FN, this cute little guy isn't even an inch long. Totally harmless.

And one other thing...
IT'S SNOWING LIKE CRAZY!
MAKE IT STOP!!!

Aragog is dead. He got a little too close.

Sorry...

Eris said...

How will you ever tell Hagrid?

The Numismatist said...

Not sure. I hate to break his heart. If he had trained his stupid spider to stay away from hoomins the dumb thing might still be alive instead of crushed in my garbage can.

I feel so unbuddhisty.

Are you going to have to talk to your sensei for doing this?

Your adiction for ralking (nice word) is worse than mine. For a Southern boy, all that rain-soaked clothes makes me shiver. Considering the rain, your coinage was impressive.

It was some rain we had... I'm surprised you weren't soaked through sooner than that! At least next week is supposed to be nice so you can get out as much as you want.

May Aragog rest in peace ;-)
