Waiting for the thunderstorm

The girls and I have just finished eating our supper. We enjoyed the spaghetti that we made. It's nice when my daughters are on vacation -- they get to help me in the kitchen. They chopped ingredients and washed the dishes. I did the cooking. I'm slowly getting used to this infrared stove that we purchased recently. It's similar to induction but seems to heat up faster and can accommodate other non-induction cookware. (I really miss using a gas stove but it's not allowed here in our apartment residences.) From outside we can hear the thunder. I checked the weather and the nearest rain is about 3 kilometers from our place. (I would've calculated that on my own had I seen the lightning earlier. ) I wish it would rain a bit tonight. I'm sick of having to sleep with the A/C on. It's nice that I don't sweat but the whirring of the thing seeps through the insides of my brain and I tend to wake up every 4 hours or so. It's just me. My husband and daughters are so okay with the sound of the A/C when they sleep. Well, it's 8:44 p.m. I've got some tidying up to do and maybe I'll write in my journal before I call it a night. See you guys tomorrow.

Rain after a long stretch of summer spells relief. I'm glad that the rainy season has started in our country. It still gets pretty hot in the afternoon but the nights are no longer as humid as before.

Glad to know that. I've heard of the staggering heat wave in India. I hope the weather eases up soon.

My husband likes the white noise sound from an AC unit, etc. It helps him sleep.

That's exactly how my kids are. They sleep better when there's white noise like that. I envy them.... and your husband!
