ocean sounds

Last night, I kept waking up and hearing the ocean. It's a tricky thing, because I'm not sure if I was really hearing the ocean or only dreaming that I was hearing the ocean while I was in that middle space betwixt sleep and wake. It wasn't unpleasant; I like the sound of the ocean. I just kept getting stuck in this loop of thinking "that sounds like the ocean am I at the ocean I shouldn't be at the ocean it was raining last night maybe it's the rain that sounds like ocean zzzz" and then I'm lulled back to full sleep by the soothing ocean sounds. 

When I woke up, I inspected my fan. (I sleep with a fan on.) Nothing unusual. 

There was an unusual amount of sand on the floor, though. 

Weather Alert

A half an hour before sunset today, I felt restless..A slight melancholy had been settling upon me, like a veil made of chiffon and spiderweb. A crack of thunder shattered the stillness and rattled the windows of the house. A monsoon storm was upon us. The lightning flashed and rent the sky and the rain pummeled the earth. "Perfect," I thought, and I grabbed my keys and rode out into the storm. 

I turned up the music and drove.
