Listening to the rain...

One thing I didn't know about this city before moving here was just how much it rains! It rains every week, sometimes lasting all week. It's not the rain I'm used to that pours for twenty minutes and moves on. It lingers, it drizzles all day. It's not warm rain, it's cold rain, if the temperature was to drop five degrees it would snow. I didn't know about this before moving here. It's depressing. It makes me cranky, I don't want to run errands or do anything but curl up under a blanket in front of the fire. I am longing for warmer, longer days. I want to feel sunshine on my skin, the kind that stings a little and makes sweat roll down your back.
I would love to wake up, put shorts on with a tank and flip flops and not have to worry about being cold. Being cold is the worst feeling, I hate everything about it.
I would love to spend every day somewhere where it's always warm and sunny..... I think I'll start playing the lottery because you can't win if you don't play....then I can spend the winter months here... Who wants to join me?
