Gullywasher!

We headed over very early, just after breakfast, to Oakland for the board meeting. Gave a presentation on the accessibility work we (largely Matt) did for the apps this past year. Then we headed home to tend house things. We snuck in a nap - the first one in weeks. I reached out to three different contractors about electrifying our house (changing our gas appliances to electric), did laundry, and tended to a plumbing issue. Got damp on a few walks. Luckily, we were inside for the gullywasher and the thunder and lightning show. Such a rare and wonderful occurrence!
