We ’ve had torrential rainwater for the last four day . It was utterly awesome . And not just because the rain was desperately needed in our drought , but because it gave me an excuse to make a fervency every day and pledge hot cyder , the kind of wintery thing I adore but do n’t get to do that often ( specially this year , with our bizarre 75 ° F winter ) .
Living in a place with year - round balmy weather condition sometimes gives me sun guilt . It might sound like anoh , razzing - hootype of affair to say , but it ’s a real matter … like a reverse cabin fever . It happens when the days are so serene and percipient , you ’re guilted into spending all of your prison term outside alternatively of interior , vegging on the sofa , when that ’s all you actually sense like doing .
Do you ever have those daylight ? You know , the days when you ’re feeling lazy , the emails can wait , the DVR is bursting with appearance you need to take hold of up on , and Chinese nutrient ( delivered , of course of action ) is sound really good . rather , the sunlight is shining and the birds are tweedle , and you feel the need to make use of such a beautiful day … even though nearly every day is beautiful here .
So when the first day of our first storm arrived , I was empty-headed with excitation . I slept in ( waaaay in ) , leave the layer unmade , stayed in my pajama , and brush aside all my texts . Even though I did n’t donothing , the something Ididdo was vacuous and trivial … stuff and nonsense that usually gets run down my to - do tilt week after hebdomad .
I set up my newfangled phone and spent a good hour determine which flick to utilise for the dwelling covert wallpaper . I went through long - forget DVDs that were gathering rubble in our media console and typeset them all aside in the donation pile . ( But not before watching them all back - to - back . ) I finally pay off around to shelling the source from a old bag full of Blue Lake beans my mother - in - law had given us .
I managed to blame up a record and read actual , real pages , something I wish I did more often . I sit in the sunroom ( which was not so sunny ) and idly watch the raindrop on the windows . I internet browser - shopped on Amazon and spent 60 minutes reading reviews ( hours … damn , those review are habit-forming ) . All wondrously guilt - loose for the entire four days it was rainy , blustery , and blowing sideways outside .
But I have to admit I chicane a little . We had a window of calm before the 2nd violent storm passed through and I feel the itch to go outside after hunkering down for two daytime . I donned my rain iron boot ( which get weary on the nose once a year ) , walk down to the beach , and watched the wave in the twilight . It was the perfect interlude for the sodding week / close .
