Weekend

[dcseain]

Saturday i left the house early, arriving at 1000 in Springfield to help The Mama* get her new kitchen in order. I got the joyous task of papering the drawers and shelves. Talk about f'n tedious. After that, a 7mi hike through the hills along the river. Got home at 1930 to find my keys in the house, and benhill not home. Read on the front porch in the rain for a bit, then called agentxs and had a lovely dinner at Yuan Fu Vegetarian in Rockville. Got home at 2300 for the evening.

Sunday, slept late, fed the cats, read the paper, dressed, and went to a lovely cookout at leiacat and bfudlmint's place. lonebear, heptadecagram, muzikmaker21, madbodger red_lynx, and others i'm too tired to recall by lj handle at the moment, were there too. Much fun was had by all. At the end of the evening, lonebear and i were trying to wait out the torrential storm. We finally gave up waiting it out at about 2045. I then drove at 25-35mph down I-95 and I-495 to VA 267 back home Reston, VA. Then found a fallen tree on Glade Dr, requiring me to turn around, back up Glade to Soapstone to South Lakes to Colts Neck and back to Glade to home. Bleah. Considering the severity of the storms and the amount of rain, really, no complaints.

The top of my throat is sore too,and it's a bit hard to talk. I should get some lozenges and maybe some chloroseptic. Well, off to bed now, at all too late, early, whatever, an hour.

As for the travel, I rather suspected as much, which is why I left when I did.
fizzygeek wanted to know why I had left when it was still pouring,
and I explained that I fully expected it to continue to do so for quite some time,
so elected to leave before it was fully dark. My speed was all over the map, and
I spent a lot of time dodging people who had enough clue to put on their flashers
when they were going 30 on an interstate, but not enough clue to remain in the
right hand lane.

On 95/495, happily, all the slowpokes kept the right 2 lanes. I was always taught to use flashers when driving 10 or more mph below the posted speed limit.

Oh yeah, that was a wet one. We dodged it all by going to the ER in the AM (I needed antibiotics but OMG the doctor was divine!). No flooding up here at Fairfax Pkwy and Baron Cameron area, but there was a lot of fire truck and police activity through it all. I'm glad you got home ok.
