I look south, out of the living room window, and watch the charcoal rainclouds as the move across the desert sky. I noticed the clouds earlier, but I didn't realize that it rained until I took some trash out to the garage, saw the rain wet cement, and felt a few drops on my head.
This morning, the rain slipped up on me. It came silently, without the warning of thunder and lightning. That's the way showers come sometimes, the clouds drop their blessed water on the desert without announcing it's coming. It's a wonderful surprise when it happens because it shows that God has a sense of humor and gives us blessings without any warning of their approach.

As I glance out the window, I see white-gray clouds, charcoal gray, and blue sky. I think the rain may have passed, but it could rain again today or the sky could clear and become a beautiful post rainstorm blue. It's too early in the day to say what will happen and I don't have time to check the weather website right now. Maybe later in the day when I've finished writing and taking out all the trash.

Reasons I am looking forward to moving
Jalál (Glory), 7 Sulṭán (Sovereignty), 170 BE - Saturday, January 25, 2014 about 8:00 am Pacific Standard Time
These are the reason I'm looking forward to moving...
1. ...no more going out before dawn or after sunset to roll the trashcan to the curb.
2. ...no more worrying about whether I have all the recyclable in the bins before carrying them to the curb.
3. ...no more worrying about falling down when I carry heavy recyclable bins to the curb.
4. ...only one bathroom to keep clean.
5. ...I can take a bath in a real bathtub instead of showing everyday.
6. ...I can do laundry once or twice a week when I take the cloths to the laundromat instead of feeling that I have to do them everyday because I have a washer and dryer in the house.
7. ...no more looking out my living room window and watching the weeds grow in my front yard because I can't pull them myself or can't afford to pay someone to do it.
8. ...getting to know a new neighborhood and new neighbors.
9. ...having only a studio apartment to clean and take care of instead of six rooms and two bathrooms.
10. ...having the choice to cooking food on a real stove or in a real oven.

Summer has arrived in Las Vegas
Fidál (Grace), 18 Núr (Light), 167 BE – Tuesday, June 22, 2010 about 11:05 AM Pacific Time
Summer arrived yesterday, so the days are getting shorter instead of longer. The length of the daylight hours does not matter that much because there is never enough time to accomplish everything I have or want to do. I have to pick the projects I complete in a day, at least that way I can get a few things completed.
Yesterday, I completed an essay, submitted the essay to a contest, and went through part of an evaluation for a medical study. Today, I have to pick up a prescription from Walgreens, post to each of my blogs, and figure out why my kitchen counter is so crowded. I also have to set up another spreadsheet in my budget book because we (Mom and I) can get a grant for someone to come in and stay with Mom.
Tomorrow, someone is coming to give me an estimate on remodeling Mom's bathroom and putting in a walk-in or handicap accessible shower. I do not know where the money is going to come from, but I am not going to worry about that until I know how much it is going to cast. I have already had one estimate and I know I cannot afford that estimate, but hope springs eternal even in summer.
