Up at 6:30 to get ready for water aerobics. It was a cloudy-dark morning that treatened a downpour, and provided it just as I arrived at the college parking lot. Fortunately, I had an umbrella with me, but it didn't prevent my canvas shoes and the bottoms of my fleece pants from getting wet.
The pool was bath-water warm today. Twenty-one of us attended aerobics. Later in the session, the sun began to peek out, to the delight of some of the ladies. But a few of us said we did not want to see the sun today. Why, we were asked? Because, we explained, the sun coming out could cause heat that would clash with an oncoming cold front, which in turn could spawn tornadoes.
Back home, I enjoyed a cup of coffee and then got ready for the day. Hubbie accompanied Mother to our house, and we spent the morning and part of the afternoon catching up on "Dancing With the Stars" episodes. We watched one competition round, and two elimination rounds.
We were all glad that we didn't have anywhere to go, because as the day progressed, the weather became more and more dismal. Around 4 p.m., we began to hear thunder. Tornado warnings were issued for counties south and west of us, and eventually our region of the state experienced severe thunderstorms.
This kind of weather inspires us to cocoon and not much else. Did a couple of loads of laundry, planned a menu for the rest of the week, played on my e-reader tablet, and read today's newspapers, but otherwise did nothing constructive. Mother worked on her jigsaw puzzle, and Hubbie catnapped.
Later, I heated leftover goulash for supper, which I served with coleslaw and cottage cheese. Afterward, Hubbie accompanied Mother to her house, and then we vegged in front of TV for the evening.
