Good things about the rain:
It’s smells nice
It sounds nice
Dark clouds are lovely
Green is better than brown
My running shoes are as clean as the day I bought them
This province-city-ravine can always use an extra gulp of water, whereas my backpack-jacket-umbrella-hair-face can live without it
Bad things about rain:
It’s cold
It makes me wet
It makes my electronic things wet (although my iPod and camera seem to have survived)
It shortens a much anticipated and much needed long walk
It starts when I leave work
It ends when I arrive home
And possibly the worst thing about rain...today…the $#!^&! sun came out! That big &^%!% yellow thing in the sky! That thing mocking me as I sit shivering in my hoody, my hair soaked, my socks soaked, when I should be on the trails. I suppose I could go out now, but it’s not the same. And whose to say it won’t rain again?
Ah well. Tomorrow is another day. In wetsville.
