And then, the deluge

jennlkWhen I left the house this morning, the rain gauge on the deck had a layer of water in it, but the indicator wasn't actually floating (the indicator is a 1/16" (<2mm) thick piece of plastic). When I returned from PT and errands about 4 hours later, the rain gauge was at over 3" of rain. The pond and birdfeeders agree that we got a lot of rain. It apparently came down in bursts, though, which allowed the water to mostly soak in - the easement shows no signs of water running into it (usually we see leaves or grass clippings at the water line, or at the least flattened grass where the water was flowing in). And after a couple hours of no rain (even a bit of sun!) there are rumbles of thunder again, so more rain. Whee!
I made four stops today, so a total of 8 trips between car and building, and got wet on six of them. Two of them it was bucketing down to the point that I pulled the hood on my jacket up, and there was still water dripping off the bags when I got home.
PT progresses. They increased weights or repetitions on a couple of exercises, and pondered adding a couple more, but have decided to hold off on those. One more scheduled appointment, but I suspect that they will be adding more at that point - the shoulder doesn't hurt as much or as often as it did, but I'm still limited in functionality. PT did mention that I will probably always be somewhat limited because there are two torn tendons, but that they want me to be able to put things on high shelves and reach overhead....
Township clerk called to ask if I'd be available to work the election in November, so that's a couple of days booked. Still probably on the Absentee board, but that's to be determined.
