Humpday, end of August

This day has been interesting. I woke up around 4:30 and read in bed. I then went downstairs and fixed myself some breakfast. I ate in front of the television. After breakfast, it appearing that Tex was happy just to lay in bed for awhile, I lay back down on the couch and allowed Lethe to take me back to slumber-land.

Around seven Cindy came into the living room and I woke again to take Tex out. Tex does not like the rain or the wet. I escorted him to the front yard and he looked dubiously at the grass. I could tell that he recognized the look of grass after a substantial rain fall. I finally dragged his carcass to a spot that he deemed dry enough for his delicate little paws.

Needless to say, he was glad to hop out of the yard, back on to the pavement and return to the relative dryness of the house.

By the way, don't be skeptical about Tex's looks. He can definitely look dubious when it comes to wet grass. He also does sheepish quite well when he has done something wrong around the house. He even smiled at Kate the other day when something happened that he appeared to enjoy.

This morning, I have received several phone calls from clients in which they promised me checks in my hot little hand today. I have already received a big check from Seattle. Nice place. Don't need the coffee or the rain though. We have enough here.

Maybe this will be a good week after all. I might even buy Cindy a birthday present.

It has been extremely un-August-like lately. With these hurricanes, the temperature has been in the 80's. Quite nice.
