What to do?!

I have a horrible conundrum to report. Last night, right before I went to bed, there were clouds building in the south. I thought to myself that if it rained, I'd need to close my windows, but until then, I'd keep them open to cool off the house, since it desperately needs it while I'm on my gungho green kick and not using my AC. So I went to sleep a happy homeowner. I woke up around three when I heard this huge CCCCRRRAACCKKKKKKKKKK! BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM! CCRAASSSSSHHHHHHH! I found out that if I'm really really really tired, I can sleep through a thunderstorm going on two feet from my ear, but that I cannot sleep through a bolt of lightning splitting my walnut tree and depositing half of it directly through my office room's roof! So I got to try to pull as much as I could out of the room to keep it from becoming soaked, and putting it away while avoiding the Other Soaked Places in my house, as a testament to open windows. Hopefully church today can calm my troubled heart. Forecast today: thunderstorms.
