Nihow!
Hello again, and welcome to typhoon season. Two days ago we got a warning about an incoming storm/typhoon/hurricane.... I'm not sure exactly. Rain began on Sunday, got real heavy Sunday night, and into Monday... Let up a bit on Monday afternoon, and got heavy again during the night. Today, Tuesday was fine it was a drizzly, rainy, pouring kind of cycle that went off and on. Of course, it rained heavier while we were outside walking or waiting for the bus. Typical. The rain is tapering off tonight, and tomorrow is only a 10% chance...I think. I learned today that October/November and possibly into December is considered typhoon/hurricane season here. Don't worry though (gram!) we are far enough in land that we won't get too severe of winds. Just alot of rain. If you noticed, one of my pictures today was of our bench by school.... It's underwater. So the water on that little river/canal has risen somewhere from 3 to 5 feet from the rain we're getting. The river/canal... I'm not really sure what they are, but they have brick/stone edges, so we'll call them canals. The canal by school has risen too, but only by 2 feet or so. The sidewalk out side our apartment building is near a tree line and has about and inch or two of water on the far side. Luckily, it's still dry on the side by our door so we can get out.
In other news, my school schedule changed. Thank goodness! We now only teach in the mornings, and stay to observe/help three or four afternoons a week. It's not a huge change in time, but we're teaching more manageable classes, and getting at least one afternoon off.
And in sports.... haha, just kidding. Although I wore my flip flops today because I didn't want to get my tennis shoes wet. But, I forgot that china + water = super slippery! So, I was pretty acrobatic today in order to stay upright sometimes. Only really slipped good three or four times..... You know, arms waving kind of slip. Which was probably comical because I was carrying an umbrella. But I didn't fall!
Much love,
Until next time.
I am picturing the arm waving, umbrella twirling slip....i'm getting a hilarious reenactment of a more clumsy singing in the rain. (giggle to myself) Love you meg! dont fall on ur butt in a puddle;)
ReplyDeleteJust like Twig...I actually laughed out loud thinking of your acrobatics. I know what your cartwheels look like, I can just imagine the umbrella. "I'm Singing in the Rain". Stay dry...love you!!!!!!!!!!
