I slept poorly last night thanks to the thunder and lightning. Funny how Elvis the dog slept peacefully throughout the noise. He slept at the foot of my bed. Cute. He reminded me of Puppy.

I missed the basketball game this morning. I wanted to see China vs. the US. Unfortunately there was no upset. We haven’t won a medal yet but it’s still only Day 2 or is it Day 3?

Rain is in the air. I am going for a run this morning and then I am going to do some writing and reading. I’m reading the Known World. I started it last night before I went to bed. Now I am hooked. Word to self: try not to start books before bedtime. It’s hard to put the book down. Don’t do it.
