Rain!

It rained! It didn't last long, but a storm blew through and there was a downpour. I knew my prayers would be answered. I'm not going to stop, though, because we need more rain. This little storm wasn't enough. I will continue to pray for more and more rain, until this drought is kicked to the curb. I tried to include a photo of our cloudy sky, but the email never went through.

I am feeling much better since my last psychotic episode. My anxiety is still fairly high, but I have been able to function somewhat normally in the last couple of days. For me, it is enough to be able to perform simple household chores and be able to walk to the store or the park.

This morning I am going to have a banana-blueberry smoothie with egg. I'm not afraid of getting salmonella poisoning; I've been using raw egg in smoothies for over a year and never had a problem. I don't like the taste of cooked eggs very much, so this is a way for me to get my Omega-3's in.

Today's tea is white Himalayan, second steeping. Loose leaf teas can usually be steeped twice or three times before they lose flavor. Well, the storm looks like it's past us, and the sky is clearing. It's too bad, because we need as much rain as we can get. "Clouds gather round from far and near, angels kindly shed your tears."
