Rainy

I feel rainy today. Just like yesterday. With the sloppy grass, mud, and the never ending chore of having to wipe 8 bony, muddy dog feet 3 times a day, I feel rainy.

The extra hour of daylight should be (and is) a welcomed relief. But I still feel rainy today.

Perhaps its a multitude of things I have been recently committed to that leads to the downpouring of feeling overwhelmed and waterlogged.

Most likely it is the soggy feeling I feel for not being able to attend my niece's birthday today (the first time in six years....and she is six today), makes the rain feel extremely heavy today.

Perhaps it is dewy impatience for a much needed, sunny vacation that I feel dampened.

Whatever it is, I need to snap out of it.

After all, spring is almost here, with it's sunshine, it's calling birds, and all of it's days with the smell of lilac, tulip and hyacinth permeating the air. And the welcomed extra sunshine should dry things out...eventually.

I'll wring myself out, let the sun bake it out, and become crisp again. Perhaps I need a tan, since I look pasty white. At least that way I'd look sunny...
