Damn You, Weather.com

So I have an errand that I have to run. Simple errand. Could have done it yesterday, but decided to wait until today. Of course, since I decided to wait yesterday, when weather.com said that it was supposed to be nice both afternoons, well, now I have to pay the price. I'm going to get wet. Because even though weather.com says that it's only a 30% chance of rain today, there's a giant green rainstorm that's about to hit NYC according to their weather radar on the same page. So I'm gonna get wet. Why? Because the errand is to go to Randall's Island and pick up some Cirque du Soleil tickets. I guess I'll wear my rain coat.

In other news, one of my favorite bloggers has returned to the blogging world. Hooray!

In yet more news, I actually went to the grocery store yesterday. I'd been a bum for a while and had been eating practically everything from take-out. It probably started when I was about to go to Spain - all that travelling meant why bother having fresh food in the house? Somehow, the funk/depression that descended on me this spring kept me in more of a delivery mode than a cooking mode. But I have had my first home-prepared meal in months, and I will tell you this: Crispix do not stay entirely crispy in milk. Well, I used soy milk so maybe there's something in soy that de-crispifies more than cow milk does? Maybe I should run an experiment.

Or maybe I need to get out more.

UPDATE:

I made it to Randall's Island, and the only wet that I got was from sweat. Somehow, according to the latest Doppler Weather Radar, the rain decided to turn right before getting to NYC. Lucky me! Of course, we've got a 70% chance of it hitting us tonight, so I better take my brolly to work.
