Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, endless endless rain for three straight days now. This was not how I envisioned my time off from work.
Running errands and taking care of business in the rain is miserable. Because it's not a pleasant rain, a light misty rain, refreshing to feel on one's face, oh no, that would be too easy. It's a steady sturdy rain, the kind that drips off the back of one's hat and slides, cold and gooseflesh-making, down the back of one's neck. It's the kind of rain that makes entering and leaving the house an ordeal because the leaf-clogged gutters right above the door overflow in torrents, thus creating that sliding gooseflesh-creating drip off the hat referenced above. It's the kind of rain that makes me grateful I was never chosen for any of those Seattle-area positions I kept applying for.
Ha! A good thing. Now I can finish getting dressed and ready to face the drizzle.
