It's storm season. Sultry, sweaty weather, gusts of wind in overcast skies, lightening as the sun sets, and rain in the night, refreshing the air so that we wake up to a cool morning before the heat begins to rise.
This week I walked home from the train in the dusk, watching flashes of lightening behind the clouds, and the occasional white jagged line reaching up from the horizon. It's not the sort of image I can capture in a photograph - the brooding dark sky, and the crackle of light shooting across it.
Today it's warm and humid. After cleaning for most of the morning, I'm going to ride my bike down to the local pool and do some laps. I haven't been swimming in ages - I flopped around in a pool last weekend, and it made me remember what I was missing. I've been itching to swim all week - churn up and down with some laps, and then sink down under the water and swim down along the bottom, pretending I'm a seal.
Afterwards, I'll head off to the grocery store, and then hopefully spend the afternoon doing some cooking and taking photos in order to give the recipe blog a much needed update.
I feel the need to refresh and recharge this weekend. Work's been fraught with other people's emotions and problems, and I've become too caught up in it. I may be there five days a week, but there's much more too my life. This weekend, I'm going to concentrate on that.
