Yesterday, NYC got a record amount of rain. At nearly six inches, it was the most rain the city had seen in a 24 hour period in the last 124 years.
My weekend started with a nice, relaxing evening. I went with my friend to the movies. She and I saw one of the worst movies ever made: The Pathfinder. That made for some laughs over dinner afterward.
Then, on Saturday, I hung out with another friend of mine who offered to lend me his and his husband's apartment in Miami for my birthday. See, I mentioned to him that since it will be my 30th birthday, I want to take a little trip somewhere to celebrate. Someplace with a beach and sunshine and it would be nice if my friends would accompany me. And so he said I could stay there if I wanted.
Since his birthday is that month as well, I said, "We should make it a celebration for both of us!" So, it looks like I will be traveling with them for a long weekend some time in September for a little time at the beach in celebration of my 30th trip around the sun.
As mentioned, yesterday did naught but rain, so I spent the day in bed reading and watching television. It was wonderfully restful.
I actually love the rain. It's my favorite weather.
Most people think of rain as being dreary and dismal and surely it does strike me that way if it goes on for many days on end.
But for the most part rain is to me energizing. I especially love thunderstorms -- although those aren't all that frequent here in New York. Rain reminds me of getting clean and refreshed. It makes me think of beginnings and new possibilities. So, I like the rain.
And, on top of it all, I wasn't on the internet all weekend long, which is an amazing thing for me.
All in all, it was a great weekend.
