All the reasons why....

There have been absolute downpours all day today. Rain hammering down on the pavement from the rooftop of the building next to my office. I couldn't even force myself to walk over to the gym at lunch time for my usual workout.

I knew a girl once in highschool that loved it when it rained. I never understood her. I still don't. I hate the rain. I obviously know why we need rain - but it just makes everything so much more difficult. And for me - it sucks the energy out of me. It makes me squint when i'm driving in it and my hands hurt because i grip the steering wheel to tight. The bottoms of my pants get wet because i like to wear flats and they touch the ground just a bit.

The freshly cut grass gets washed into puddles that I always seem to find in my flip flops. And the side of my car is always slightly dirty when i accidentally rub against it to get out.

So yes - i hate rain. And today has been difficult since everyone else i know with a few minor exceptions have today off. So coming to work, in the rain, to sit in the office while it's raining and trying to be productive = me writing a blog about not being productive because it's raining.

It's a sick cycle, i know.

In other news - my fiancé started his new job today. He is already excited about his first project. That makes me endlessly happy. After more than a year of him being miserable at work, him having a fun project and some creative freedom at a company that appreciates him is really amazing.

I'm about to jet-set off to Orlando for a work conference. I'm pretty excited to see some old friends (former co-workers) and to hopefully get reinvigorated about the summer projects i have to work on here.

I wish i had something more interesting to say. But i'm just sort of lazy sleepy right now. Honestly, i just yawned.
