A Rainy Day for Santa Barbara

It was cloudy yesterday, and then today the impossible happened-- it rained. After a summer with barely a cloud in the sky, we've finally come to the rainy season where-- you guessed it-- it actually rains. Normally, I would call this season fall, but since the trees aren't changing color, I guess this doesn't qualify. So throughout the rest of "winter" it will be a whole 10 degrees cooler and we'll get the occasional rainfall, which is more like a lazy mist intersperced with a light sprinkle.

Every day each teller is assigned a station at the bank and checks out the keys for that station. I've been using the same station all this week, and on Wednesday, as I was reaching for my keys to open the bottom drawer of my station I realized that they had fallen to the floor, leaving half of my key stuck in the top drawer. I'm not even sure how the key split in half, and then after pocking the lock with a screwdriver, the other half only got wedged deeper in the lock. Just, our assistant manager broke out the tool kit and spent the better part ofthe next our taking apart the lock trying to get the key back out, and then puzzling over how to put the whole mess back together. Thankfully we had a spare key for my station. So today we had the locksmith come in and tinker with it more so that the station is now fully functional.

Charles and I will be able to visit everone in Georgia this December. I'm very much looking foward to it. I can't wait to see everyone. I haven't seen my parents since packed all our stuff in the budget truck. It seems like ages ago. I'm especially looking foward to seeing my brother, Aaron, who I haven't seen since even longer then that. I look foward to telling everyone everthing that's going oon in my life, and hearing all of their stories as well.
