It's a Fair Amount

My sister relayed that the news is making it sound like Northern California will be sliding off into the bay any minute.  True, there is a fair amount of rain - it's been steady most of the night and things are pretty wet.  I heard that Napa River is at it's banks and may overflow (may already be overflowing - that's the bad thing of pretty much using Yahoo for news is you hear things pretty late)...but so far, we are all OK.

There are buildings in our schools with leaky roofs so that's not good.  Working on getting those taken care of ASAP.

Our solar panels seem fine though there were some 'new' loud, sporadic (fairly infrequent, thank goodness) pingy 'drips' (like a drop of water hitting the metal duct work in the attic) in some parts of the house last night so J. will be calling to get the solar guys to come out when it's not raining and confirm/reseal the heck out of the points where the solar panels meet the roof.  We don't think it's a huge issue - but any issue is too much for me.

I worked all day yesterday and will head in again today fairly shortly.  I got a massive amount done and need to be done with another list of stuff by end of day today.

It just started POURING!!!  Dread going out into the rain to get to work - and really, really dread the long walk from my building to the bathroom in the deluge!  I don't usually use umbrellas but may have to make an exception - and will be so grateful to the coworker who left her umbrella at work so it's available if needed.

OK - time to hit the ground running and get going.  J. and B. are at church playing music this morning.  H. is still snoozing upstairs (I think - have to see if his car is here).  It's a nice night for soup and I may make delicious cream of potato again - it was well received by most and warm soup sounds delicious on this cold ,rainy, blustery day.

Cross Seattle off the list of places for possible retirement.  I dislike rain.  It's just so....

Wet.  That's the word I'm looking for.

It's wet.......
