I woke up this morning to a Supertramp song, It’s raining again, playing in my brain. And yes, I am aware that this song dates me but it is a good song and it fits the weather this morning and my general mood for the last three weeks of rain we have been having in California. The rain has not stopped and it seems like it has really been raining forever. I have complained about the rain before, but as an old lady I see that as my prerogative!
Some of us love the rain, some of us like the rain and some like me just tolerate the rain. I have heard of weirdos who move to cold rainy places on purpose as they love it. Those places for me are the kiss of death, I get S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder) from one cloudy day. So the last three weeks have not been enjoyable for me or my dog. My dog is a British dog, but her upbringing in California ruined the love of cloudy rainy days.
Even Sagey girl (the dog) refuses to go out to take care of business, my girl who loves long walks prefers to sleep on the sofa, bark at the squirrels from inside the house and keeps the walkies to a minimum. It makes me wonder if she is affected by my general mood as she usually is very sensitive. I have had her since she was 8 weeks old and as I worked from home before, she was my home office dog.
The rain is supposed to stop this afternoon, and we are promised a couple of days of sun which I know I need even if it will be cold, California cold, not real cold. And maybe my sunny outlook will return, but who knows. The only thing I know for sure is that I miss the sun!
