Drought

I've been playing a lot of music lately, at least a few hours every day. My fingers hurt for the first time in years as I keep mashing them up and down the neck of my guitar. My voice hurts from singing and my feet can't stop tapping out a beat. I miss my guitar. I haven't been as good to her as I should.

I'm really tired tonight even though I didn't work that hard. I need to try my best to get more sleep and drink more water. I get dehydrated so easily.

This drought is horrible. It's been steady for a few months now. And though it has rained all across the US with some regularity (I've been watching my radar), it hasn't rained here but a few times. It almost seems like when it does rain, the water never really makes it down past the tree tops. You can hear the sprinkling in the leaves, but not a drop will hit the hot cement beneath your feet. The ground is dusty and everywhere you go people are sneezing. I love sneezing, so that's not so bad, but this is too much of a good thing. I just want it to rain buckets. I want to walk out in it and soak it in.

I don't know what I'm writing about. I think I'm just going to read and go to bed. Peace and love.
