Actually, a second question also came to mind. What was I going to do next?
It had all started earlier that same day . . . a damp, wet Tuesday in January, the sort of day that made you forget that Christmas had ever happened or that spring would ever come. Looking out the window, all I could see was rain. In fact, looking into the window, I could see quite a bit of rain too. The roof was leaking.
