RAINY DAY

Such a dreary day today, and I have learned something: The genius is a fair weather friend. This morning I awoke at 6:30 and realized he had gone for the day; the place was dark. I knew when he had gotten up because I had stirred enough to look at the clock. But he was gone now.

So I dozed about twenty more minutes until I knew I had to take care of Rufus. I dragged myself out of the sack (I always have to drag in the mornings) and then I saw why he had left without taking Rufus outside. It was raining!! What a beginning to a gray day.

Now, unless you think I am a spoiled brat, I must hasten to say that I am exaggerating. I really do appreciate the genius and his willingness to take the dog out first thing each day. I know there are not many husbands who would do that, especially when he goes to work each day and I don’t. So I don’t really begrudge his not doing it today. I just wish it weren’t raining!!

In an effort to cheer myself up I looked at the weather forecast for Port Saint Joe where I will be soon and guess what? It’s raining there, too. But the day we arrive it is supposed to be nice.

So today I’ll do what I’ve wanted to do all morning: go back to bed and sleep!!
