I sleep like a baby during thunderstorms. Love 'em. They agitate me greatly on their approach, but once they arrive, I calm to a deep serenity.

My dog can relate, though. Poor critter has to sleep with me during a thunderstorm, if he can sleep at all.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
