It didn't just rain today, it came down in sheets. The street was a river all the way across, and the wind blew it in waves. Of course, that only lasted about fifteen or twenty minutes before it tapered off, but it was fun while it lasted!

Mom and I have also started construction on a new skirt for me, as I am in dire need of more hot-weather clothing. It's a rather pretty blue-grey material that we're turning into a tiered skirt.

We also took Blackie to the vet again. He still refuses to groom himself, which means that this is the second summer in a row that he's going to end up getting shaved. I'm starting to think he does it on purpose because he likes how much cooler he feels after the shave.

And that's what's up in Mari-land. I'm waiting on my beta to get back from her vacation, there's one story waiting impatiently in her inbox and another few that I'm working on slowly. And I signed up for a ficathon, which was probably not the brightest move I could pull.
