Soaking wet

A massive sudden pounding rainstorm hits the city while I am running on the treadmill. I run home after the workout is over as it rains. I am only outside for a couple of minutes and I am absolutely soaking wet. Dry off and lay on the couch to watch the series finale of “The Man in the High Castle”. Today was Kristine’s birthday. My mind kept me thinking about Kristine. It brought me down a little.
