It’s A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

You know how good you feel after you’ve been sick? All of a sudden, you realize just how GOOD it feels just to be normal, not to ache, not to have a sore throat, not to be tired and woozy?

Getting up this morning was that kind of feeling.

WOW. It’s a beautiful NORMAL Kuwait kind of day. We had a humungous thunder storm last night, I know, because I heard it and got up to see it. It was off in the distance and I was too tired to wait for it to come my way, so I went back to bed. I can tell this morning that it rained here, though, too, because my windows are all splothchy.

It rained! It rained! Here are my splotchy windows:

Today, you can see the horizon. There is a haze in the sky, but it is a normal, high haze, cloud like, not the kind of dust haze that fills your nose and makes you cough. You can see the water, and it sparkles. Ahhhh, it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful normal Kuwait day.

It’s 86° F / 30° at 0900 – yep, I’m up a little later this morning; that’s what happens when you get up in the middle of the night to watch a thunderstorm. 😉

  4. I only saw the puddles this morning 🙂
    And the air felt good and fresh.

    Hubby made up his ,mind this morning – we are leaving Kuwait and will – maybe – have a good summer in Hungary, or somewhere else 🙂

  5. Ansam, I was a beautiful day, wasn’t it, and not too hot!

    Purg – you slept through the THUNDER?? :-0

    We really needed the rain, ShoSho, to damp down some of the dust.

    Nicole, NO! No! You can’t go! What is in Hungary?
