MONSOOON!!!!
Jul. 23rd, 2021 02:37 pmRead the title like the guy from Wolgamut....it makes sense.
So, the the desert Southwest we get Monsoon rains in the summer...usually hitting mostly July and August. The last few years have been below normal rain fall and we are in a very bad drought. This year...not so much. I generally have issues with changes in altitude and barometric pressure. I get headaches etc. What I didn't realize is that I get joint aches now with weather moving in. With the ear infection I've had I've been not feeling great but my janky ankle and my janky knee has been not happy. Like can't sleep happy. With the storms in the last 24 hours we've had 2.71" of rain at my house, with grape sized hail for like 20 mins in taht too. We had a storm Wednesday night, Thursday afternoon and as I was heading to bed the doozy of a storm started.....I could not sleep. The lightening was a strobe light for hours especially through our skylights in the bathrooms and kitchen. I finally just got out of bed at 1130am and sat in the family room which helped me not to have to deal with the lightening as bad. The cats were non-plussed even though the thunder was super loud and the rain poured for hours. I finally had pain/allergy meds and some food at like 1230 and finally headed back to bed at 130am. I crawled into bed and my janky knee reset with a loud pop...I kinda whimpered for a while and then it just felt better. I then fitfully slept and decided I was going to just sleep until my morning meetings started.
I made it to a few...effed off for a nap and then just did my approval for a proposal gate for my directorate. Now its going to be a weekend.
selfcare is napping versus working. honestly.
And we have more weather coming.
