XV - A Little Rain Never Hurt No One

I have a new favorite phrase: "I'm not interested in anything."  I hear it time and time again from people I'm canvassing.  Sure, I know what they actually mean.  But at the same time, maybe they're not interested in anything.  My first thought is, "that's sad.  Everyone needs a hobby."

But that's not what I came here to talk about.

It's been rainy and gloomy here lately, and it's starting to get to me.  I really didn't want to get up today -not like that's a change from any other day these days- and I just feel run down.  It takes a lot of energy for me to hold it together and keep going, and days like this, especially several at a stretch, and especially when it's as humid as it's been, I just don't know if I can keep going.

I wonder sometimes if I'm doing this right, but I guess there's no right way.  My mom tried to keep me from taking off my wedding ring; she said it was too soon.  Maybe she was right.  I can't stand to be without it, so I wear it on a chain around my neck.  But I digress.

It's supposed to start being nice again Sunday.  The temperature will cool down, the humidity will go away, and the sun will return.  For now, I have to fight even harder to keep the willpower to keep going.  I know I'll be okay, I know I'll make it through, but it's hard to keep going.  So today I guess I'll be back out hoofing it in the rain.

But a little rain never hurt no one.
