I woke up around 10:30 or 11 or something. It was supposed to stay clear and not rain until "after 5AM" but I'm thinking someone typed it wrong and meant "after 5PM" because...
I had something close to 20 things to pack, and did so, even packing some hard to find things that took some time to, well, find. By this time it was 4:30 in the afternoon and since it was supposed to rain all weekend, I decided why not get this one last very large thing sent out?
So I packed it, which took about an hour which is how it always is with the big ones, and I heard a funny sound outside. It had started to rain. I put the other things, all small or pretty much so, into big plastic bags and loaded up the bike, put on what rain gear I have, and set out.
It kept raining, so it wasn't just a small squall passing over. I got things mailed and headed back here, stopping at the African store for a few things since after all I may be holed up for the next few days.
I got back here and hung my wet jacket and hat up, fixed up some hot soup, and got warmed up and dried out. And hours later as I write this, it's still raining steadily.
