Nate: Maybe this time I'll try for someone with just an anxiety disorder.

I'm feeling very jealous of everyone in Castle Rock right now. When I was over at Woodbine loading cabinets, there was a marvelous view to the East. The sky was a deep grey-blue, occasionally broken with a brilliant white streak of lightning. All I could do was stare off at it, wishing to be in the middle of that storm, where I could not only see the lightning but hear and feel the thunder crashing, maybe even rain pouring onto what little shelter I have. I don't like standing in the rain so much, because it gets into my eyes and makes it harder to see, but watching a storm from a covered porch is heaven.

Unless my memory fails me, only a scant few drops of rain have fallen here since I got home over a month ago. It is not healthy weather.

Time slips away, as it always does. I think it will be sooner than I expect that I will be back at school, back where I feel like I'm doing something useful.
