Over And Done

Today sucked.

Today was incredibly, terribly, horribly, gut-wrenchingly, miserably bad. Nauseating and terrifying and bleak and despair-laden. Mostly in a work-related fashion.

(Everything looks like it's going to be fine, but my anti-nightmare campaign has just been set back at least a month.)

But.... Someone is looking out for me, because the most glorious thunderstorm is going on outside, over my head. Lightning flashing to brighten my world, warm laughing caresses of thunder rolling over my body, cool rain sheeting down, and, thank all the powers that be, a few moments of stolen free time to stand outside in it and feel the embrace of the storm and reach my toes down to the ground and stretch my fingertips up to the air and let it all wash over me and carry everything away and remind me that there are Powers out there that care.

I feel more human and safe than I thought I would be able to. If only the storm continues like this, I might just be able to sleep tonight.....
