Rain

I'm sure y'all have heard me talk about rain in Galveston. I mean for the first few months of me living here, all it did was rain on the weekends! Well it's been raining again here for the past week, well more. But it also has been raining all around Texas with floods happening, over flowing river banks, and shutting down of lakes. I mean it has to be a lot of rain for lakes to be closed to boats and what not, especially during July 4th! Anyway, the point of this post is Leah and I just went to Wal-Mart. I take that back, we attempted to get there. It was only sprinkling when we left the east side of the island. By the time 20th street came along it was pouring and sideways rain was happening. So I think we got to maybe about 35th Street, we called it quits. I turn the car around and headed back. As we approached 10th Street or so, it was sprinkling again. My guess is the west side of the island still had harder rain than the east. Who knows. I just know that I didn't want my car to get stuck in the water. It's a possibility here.

Flying contact

I can't remember the last time I lost my contacts or dropped them without being able to find them again. I'm pretty klutzy as most of you know. I was taking out my contacts tonight and as i was putting the cap back on one side, the contact case slipped out of my hands. The other side's cap was not on so it flew out. I looked all around my sink and floor and found nothing. It's not as if my bathroom is all that big either! Man, I just got out this pair 2 weeks ago! Sucks. I don't have eye insurance so I try to keep my monthly pair as long as I can before switching them out. I guess this one will have to make it longer than usual!

Mosquitoes

I absolutely hate them...I really don't know who would like them. Last year when I first moved to Galveston at the end of August, the mosquitoes didn't seem so bad. I really didn't get bit or saw them much then. However, these past few weeks have just been awful! They're everywhere, and I'm their food! I'm going to my car from my room and I get bit. I write this now because one decided to follow me into my room from outside. I rarely get them in the dorms. I think this is the 2nd one I've seen in my room since I've moved here. It was buzzing around my ear. I swatted it away and thought I killed it. I guess not because I didn't see it on my hands or the ground. But now it's no where to be seen. Grrr....it will probably come bother me when I'm trying to sleep! Yay. Go away nasty mosquitoes.
