Earlier today

Warning: I'm not in a good mood. I was headed to the pool when we were hit with a downpour. I checked the weather app before I left the apartment -- nothing -- all clear and "real feel" was 100+°F.  So, now, stuck in the apartment for an hour or so -- when the thunderstorm / lightning storm should dissipate. [Later: it's supposed to clear w/n the hour but now it's hailing. I'm not getting any happier!][Later: weather cleared; 8:00 p.m. Perfect for swimming! All's right with the world.]
