I got so wet today

The weather forecast predicted rain for much of today. It was raining so hard this morning that Carsten took the car to work instead of riding his bike. I think this is only the second time he has done that in the 8 months we have lived here. Anyway, after doing some laundry and cleaning the apartment I decided to go running, since the rain stopped and the sun was out. Clearly that was a mistake because after about 3 miles the rain poured down from the sky and I got soaked. I mean I could not believe how wet I had gotten so quickly. I made it home and finally got the wet clothes off me.

Later in the afternoon I phoned my grandma. It was important to me that I call her today as today is the 10-year anniversary of my grandfather's passing. She was in surprisingly good spirits and told the story of how yesterday she got soaked by the rain while at a family reunion.

Once Carsten arrived home from work we took our bikes to the city centre to do some shopping. The rain had stopped again and thankfully this time it stayed away so we were both dry.

The day ended with a phone call to Alica to tell her all about my plans for her time here. 12 more days!!!
