March 1

It rained a lot today. And it rained hard. So it was quite nice when, as I was leaving to go shopping with Nikki tonight, it wasn't raining or drizzling or spitting or otherwise releasing liquid from the sky. Instead, it was just peaceful.

There's something calming about the intermingling of moonlight and cloudcover. It's still and cool and refreshing and beautiful, and the scene made me exhale. Given that I feel like I spent the last month-plus holding my breath, it was a much-needed release.
