We have definitely done something to piss off Mother Nature.

Between all of those tornadoes a few weeks ago, and the rain that's going on now...
Obviously, the flooding is not as debilitating as a bunch of tornadoes just ripping shit up, but it's still kind of scary.
The creek at the end of my mother's street in Michigan is already level WITH the street, and they have a significant amount of water in their basement. This is Sunday. The rain isn't supposed to stop for another two days, at least.
One of my friends from back in Buffalo mentioned that they were having trouble getting home last night because of how the roads were flooding.
Various people in Rochester (including Ivan and Turtle) have mentioned that they have at least minor amounts of water coming into their basements.

I just want to be home to be able to deal with things.
I want to clutch my pillow and cuddle with mah boyfrenn and mah rommie (yeah that's right, I like her enough to cuddle her on the couch, come at me bro) and even Archie (that dumb, adorable feline).

Fook.

Some thoughts before sleep, and that's about all I'm good for right now.

I've been working on legitimate writing the whole time I've been away from home. If anything good has come from all of this, I actually have managed to get a decent bit of work done on my book - there were fundamental problems with the setup, and I think I might have hammered them into something usable.

I can't even begin to explain how tired I am, mentally.
I'm ready to come home, patch things up where it matters most, sit down on my couch, dogpile with Ivan and Turtle, and watch movies.
I'm ready to have my car back, to get in and pump some music, and take everyone up to the beach.
(I don't even like beaches. I just know that that is where we need to end up.)
I'm ready to sleep with my own pillow, in my own bed.

I have some more pictures of the Casa to share with you tomorrow, as well as the rest of DC - I have been down here for a third (and, for this trip, final) weekend.

There's going to be a third music post up. (And, likely, a fourth and a fifth.)

I started this as a way to distract myself in Delaware. It'll likely continue once I'm home...
Likely.
I'm enjoying it too much to see it die.

On that note?

Some finishing thoughts before bed, and a preview of tomorrow:

Tomorrow (or the day after, depending on how tired I am), we will be featuring two different topics here at Pierre-Millay:
(1) Music
(2) Things that are actually interesting in Wilmington, DE. (This is the only one of the pair that's contingent on how tired I am; I haven't gotten out with the camera, and I feel like pictures can do more justice to some of these buildings than I can do describing them. For as tiny and boring as Wilmington is, there's actually some really nice architecture here.)

I would also like to welcome the Seattle contingency of my fledgling readership; you might not have commented, but I'm told that you're out there.
