<\/a>I’ve been feeling so great lately about being out working and feeling ‘normal’ again… but there is one thing I forgot about.   That feeling when the weather is absolutely crap and you have to get up and go out in it to go to work.  Gone are the days of staying home under a blanket on cold rainy days.<\/p>\n

Yesterday my shift was canceled at work so I had the day off. I went into town to meet up with my friend Penny to see Eragon<\/a> which was quite a bit better than I expected. I expected it to be pretty crap.<\/p>\n

The weather was brutal.. high winds and rain, but about 10+ degrees C.  Silly me wore my summer jacket which isn’t even waterproof.  It was that or my winter jacket which is, that I’d sweat to death in.<\/p>\n

On the way there and back I sat in the tram watching all the people coming and going with their umbrellas.   <\/p>\n

I wondered why they even bothered.   It seemed as though every second person had their umbrella blown inside out, but they’d just pop it back into shape and continue on with what they were doing.  <\/p>\n

I have never quite gotten the umbrella thing.  I find them so inconvenient.  I’m always feeling like I’m going to bump into someone and poke their eye out.. and they never really keep me dry.<\/p>\n

Not that I should talk, mind you… considering I was sitting in the tram like a drowned rat as the water seeped through my thin jacket, soaking my sweatshirt underneath.   If I had a clue I would have bought a raincoat years ago, considering I live in one of the most rainy places on the planet.<\/p>\n

Today is even worse.  I can hear the wind gusting around the building, the sky is a dark grey which tells me the rain is not far off.   I just know it will start once I’m about 5 steps out of the house and I’ll end up sitting behind my computer at work in damp clothing.<\/p>\n

I don’t want to come out from under this blanket…  so I’d like to ask the Dutch winter weather to kindly FOAD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
