it's been raining a lot here lately.

not always a deluge of rain or anything of that sort - just showers, mainly cloudiness. i'm often one who loves the rain ... and i still do, don't get me wrong. it just seems to have put everyone in a bit of a mood.

take, for example, at the doctor's office today. i'm walking down the hall with the nurse, and we're chattering away. i jokingly said, "nice weather, eh?" as it was raining outside again. she said, "oh yeah! it's great, no rain for once!" with a large smile on her face. when i revealed to her it was, in fact, raining, the large smile disappeared rather quick and she proceeded to complain about the weather. as did the doctor. and the lady sticking my arm for blood. and the guys in the parking lot. and the cashier at walmart. you get the idea.

i don't know, this is new england. one would imagine you'd get used to ridiculous weather patterns up here. if you hate the rain, move to arizona. i, for one, don't mind it, so long as it's not pouring constantly. it keeps the temperature down, the grass greener, my eyes from hurting, and the bird poop off my car without having to pay seven bucks for a car wash.
