a typical tuesday?
as I try to recover from having not only my father and his partener visit as well as having The Husband home for three days straight I find I am thankful for some very dry weather. I had not realised how much I have become to
hatedispies rain until recently. I really wonder how I am going to cope once we get to the inclement weather season also known as late autumn, winter, and early spring. It had rained this morning before we got up. I was ever so ….. distraught to see the wetness everywhere and immediately felt feelings I hadn’t in what I also realised was a long time. Who knew the weather could so greatly affect a persons whole mindset in such a miniscule fraction of a second!?! Yes I know about Seasonal Affective Disorder but this was immediate and almost physical. I was raised in an area that got lots of rain and after living in Ireland, I would be happy to live in a desert.
I have not lived in this part of the world before so I am hoping that the weather we have experienced so far is more of the same in the days, weeks, months to come. For the first time since she was born, Wee Blonde Child has not claimed to be constantly cold. All Monsters have been able to play outside each and everyday (even if it is against their wishes at the moment they are being sent outside) and I have not started to melt from the rain.
