In the last 30 hours, 3.25" of rain. Another inch or so due tonight, so lovely. This part of the world is waterlogged. Lexi *hates* going out in the wet, but all of life is worth taking another nap... Lexi ready to nap

I've not been that weight in better than a decade. Today: A good run (for me) - 6000 strides in under 50 minutes. Ciao!
