Right Now

The inconsistent splash of the raindrops hitting the roof, the road, the cars, etc.
Brother talking to himself, singing to himself, sniffling and chuckling while clicking away at his mouse, entertained by the world wide web
Mom walking around cleaning and fixing things that don't really need to be fixed or clean, flapping her tsinelas as loud as possible
The absence of Dad and Sister due to them having full time jobs
The electric fans whirling and squeaking
Tashi walking around nervously, unsure of where to settle herself in fear of a possible thunderstorm
Mr. and Mrs. Garcia's TV being so loud I can hear that they're watching a Tagalog show
My mind being everywhere one moment
Nowhere the next
