The Forecast For Today Is...

I woke up this morning feeling rested but a bit anxious.
I'm not sure why I have this anxiety.
Sure, there are a list of things that I have that could promote such feelings, but I do not think that any one of them (or some of all of them combined) have placed me in this mood today.

No.
I think that today is just a pensive, anxious, feeling-somewhat-off kind of day.

And I'm okay with that.

I do hope that it rains today.
Perhaps it's because I want a reason to look all gloomy and sullen or perhaps it's beacause I want a reason to feel a little tired or confined.

The reality is that I desire rain because I like to watch it puddle on the parking lot and hear it hit the roof of our building. I also would love for it to rain because then the plants at home wouldn't have to be watered for a day or two and the grass might get a little greener.

I heard last night that we are something like 7 inches of precipitation behind normal for the year so far. Today would be a great day to start working on closing that gap.

However, if it does rain today, it needs to rain pretty hard for more than 20 minutes. Anything less will undoubtedly lead to the humidity climbing even higher than it is and will turn the air into a muggy mess. The last thing I want to day is more humidity. No thank you.

Rain would be great. In fact, if it is not going to rain then it needs to clear up outside. I don't want a day that looks like rain without the rain.

So give me rain. Lots of rain. Long periods of rain.
But no humidity.
Thank you.
