Soaked to the ankle bone.

Ugh - I had an extremely soggy day today. After jumping through a few hurdles this morning, I finally hit the road to Birmingham with a co-worker to visit a client and then work on a video project for another. The drive down was rainy with on an off periods of light drizzle. At my first meeting, we're at my client's office which is on top of a tall hill on the 8th story. Clouds were hanging low and we were at cloud level. During the meeting, it was interesting to see other buildings and then watch them disappear into whiteness as the clouds engulfed us. I was so enthralled (I was easily entertained today) that I forgot what I was saying during my meeting more than once. Either that or I was having a senior moment.

Off to lunch. Headed to Bottega again but this time ordered the smoked salmon pizza. Mmmm... that was GOOD stuff. I was not looking forward to leaving as the bottom had fallen out of the sky and it was pouring. I had parked on an adjacent road on a steep incline. Water was cascading down the hill like a water slide. Even though I had a parka on and an umbrella, below my knees my pants and feet were soaked. Luckily since I knew I would be participating in the video I brought along an extra pair of pants and shoes in case something like this happened. Still, it was uncomfortable to have wet stuff on till I was able to get changed.

Everything went well with the project and we headed north back home. The rain was a lot worse on the way back with relentless sheets pouring down. Made it home safely though but I will say it's very tiring to me to drive in these conditions.

I'll sleep well tonight.
