God is trying to keep me indoors
It rained all weekend. Yes, ALL WEEKEND. That made my weekend somewhat less than sunny. But yesterday, out of the blue, the sun came out and it was GORGEOUS! Really!
But I had things to do indoors last night and couldn’t go outside and enjoy the sunshine so much. But no big deal, because I got up this morning and it was STILL SUNNY.
All day, I peered eagerly out my office window at the sunny sunshine and thought longingly about how I’d take a nice, long walk after work, in the gathering dusk.
And I got into my car in the underground basement at 5:30 and drove up the ramp, and pulled my sunglasses down off my head in anticipation of those bright, piercing early evening rays of sun, and…
THE SKY WAS CLOUDY.
That’s right, completely cloudy. And there’s a nasty chill in the air, as I discovered when I got out of my car at home.
It is not nice walking-around-the-neighborhood weather now. It is too cloudy and too cold and I am too hungry to put on sweatpants and a hoodie just to walk around in the dark and be cold.
Phooey, I say! Phooey!

Phooey to you. I didn’t think I would make it home in one piece last night and just came in from shoveling six inches of snow.

ouch. never fear, you’ll be smug in July when I’m bitching about not being about to go outside because of the beating sun and heat.
