Rain

So, how come for years I lived in a dreary rainy gray place and absolutely hated it? Now here I am in Texas where the rain is very rare and I am loving it today.

Maybe because it is needed more than ever. I really dont want to go into water restrictions. I heard you cant even take a shower on the days that you are on restriction. Ewwww! I could get away without a shower here and there because I just dont have bad b-o. But there are some people that I just dont want to smell.

Maybe I love how it looks and smells. The drops are big and loud, noticable. It is not drizzle. The smell is a smell that my whole life I have loved. All those years in Washington and I think you could only smell the rain in the spring. Definitly not everytime it rains though. The smell makes me think of spring. I cant even describe it but it is, by far, one of the best smells in the world!

It could also be that I can feel lazy today. There is a certain way everyone behaves when it rains. Everyone is tired and feeling drained. They seem forgetful. Grouchiness seems the norm. Today I feel that I can jsut sit around and be lazy. I have finished a book I was reading I have started this blog page. I have played card games with my kids. I have not showered and it is 2 pm. (Maybe it doesnt really matter that we have restrictions cause I didnt take a shower anyway. haha)

So, I am enjoying the rain and going to sit around for 10 more minutes or so before I shower so I can go and feed my hermit crabs. Yes, that is a whole other blog.
