"We're waitin." - Sig, The Straight Story
I was up at 4:20am. It was raining. And it was expected to continue all day. After that, the forecast was dry and pleasant the rest of the week. Thinking also that I really could use one more day for packing, I sent out an email announcing my one-day delay.

I'm waiting until tomorrow!
