The rain was absolutely torrential, pouring, when I walked over to the courthouse this afternoon. I actually broke my usual rule and used an umbrella - it was THAT rainy.

I ended up with an hour break between cases, but since the car is in the shop having the brakes checked and I'm on foot, I decided that walking back and forth in the rain one more time didn't make sense. Without a car I can't accomplish most of the errands that I would have liked to do anyway. I could do the dishes during this break, I suppose, but somehow the idea of walking home in the rain so that I can wash the dishes and then walking back to the courthouse again doesn't appeal to me, so I'll take the break where I can find it and just rest while I wait.

Logan's back (or something else, but I think it's most likely the dachshund back) is bothering him again, so I'm probably going to have to keep him crated again for awhile, and put up with the whining. Since listening to the pitiful whine doesn't accomplish anything and only tempts me to let him out sooner than I should, I guess I'll be listening to a lot of music in the near future.
