Opening up my little sisters window
It’s raining outside,
And by “raining,” I mean it’s pouring so hard that streets outside have turned into rivers, the roof edges into waterfalls, and the sheets of water turn the air white and if I were driving, I wouldn’t be able to see much more than about five feet in front of me. There’s probably, most definitely, severe thunderstorm alerts on the TV and radio (which nobody really pays any attention to) and there may or may not be tornado warnings and watches in that mix.
Welcome to Floridian Summertime.
It’ll be hot, muggy and unbearable without the shelter of a/c, and then somewhere around mid afternoon/early evening, it’ll change almost instantly to windy torrents of showers and you never really know how long it’ll last before nature clears up again and acts like nothing happened; kind of like a toddler who snaps right out of their tantrum after getting what they want. This is why a seasoned Floridian always carries an umbrella during summertime; if not in their car, in their purse, or on their person. It’s why you walk into Target and the umbrella display is smack-dab in the middle of the entryway through the front doors.
Being my day off, today was the day I had planned to get my grocery running done, and perhaps, if there was a friend free (which no one seems to be 
), go on an adventure, but alas, the thunder shaking the house and the tempestuous conditions outdoors make me hesitant to venture anywhere outside this house. Therefore, I’m doing some catch up on writing, blogging (you’re welcome, faithful followers), since I’ve been MIA in wordpress land, and maybe I’ll get to catch up with some friends long distance.
I can also enjoy the fact that now is the perfect opportunity for me to wear my fuzzy pants.
{I’ll insert a photo of those here}
I’d much rather be spending weather like this indoors with good company, but I’m going to look at this solitude as an opportunity for the things that have been pushed to the side in my eagerness to stay busy outside of a currently empty house. In the future I’ll have to plan ahead for an afternoon of board games or something.
What do you do on rainy days? Do you like to spend them by yourself or with friends? What are your favorite ways to pass the time when the weather has you stuck indoors?
