I’m back in CA and it is raining. This is the rainiest it’s been since we’ve moved here. They’re expecting flooding in Napa and Sonoma in the next few days. I don’t mind the rain unless I’m stuck on the highway or driving in the city. Otherwise, it’s quite pleasant. I especially like listening to it as I drift off to sleep.

In other news, the rest of my trip to Austin went well. I had intended to see more people while I was there but I had a great time just spending some quality time with my family. After leaving JC on Tuesday, mom, Daniel and I caught up on our drinking and late-night partying. Granted, we did the PG version but it was still fun. I also went bike riding with Daniel who mercifully picked the route so as to avoid hills. The funniest thing? I had to buy some shorts. I packed t-shirts but I really didn’t think it would be 80 degrees over Xmas. Obviously, I learned nothing about weather while living in Texas. It’s 40 one year. The next year it’s 80.

The bike ride was fun. I rode my bro’s friend’s bike. It’s a perfectly nice bike, but my butt was not used to cruising on a hard bike seat for more than 30 minutes. I got to ride my bro’s bike some and his seat is much much more comfortable. Beggars can’t be choosers though. I skipped bike riding for the rest of the trip because A: i’m lazy and B: my butt was sore. It wasn’t “can’t sit down” sore but I did feel kinda funny. And I thought that I had enough natural cushion to avoid any pain.

Now I’m back in CA and I have a full weekend of laziness to look forward to. Aasma is in SF with her bf, so maybe we’ll all get together before work starts up again on Tuesday.
