Rainy Moods
It has been raining these past few days as well as today, and I love it as well as hate it.
I love it if it rains when I'm staying at home and not going out. I feel very protected. Here I am, totally safe and dry at home, and outside, it's wet and raining cats and dogs. I simply love this feeling. I also love hearing the falling rain, especially at night, when everything is quiet. It is also the best time to sleep when everything is so cool. Sometimes when that happens, I'll lay in bed and listen to the rain, and imagine little night creatures scurrying frantically to find a hiding place. I also love watching the world go by when it rains.
I hate it if it rains when I'm not at home. The thought of walking through puddles of water and dirty water splashing up my legs really put me off. Also, even if I'm indoors, the floors will be wet with wet shoes and dripping umbrellas, and you could see dirty marks on the floors. If I were to take a bus when it rains, the bus stops will be crowded and so will the buses. If I'm sitting in the bus, I'll wince when someone with a wet bag and umbrella stands next to me. What is worst is that as the windows will be closed, and if the bus is not air-conditioned, the whole bus will be so stuffy and stink of sweat. Rainy days also make it harder to get a cab as the cab companies' phonelines will be jammed.
In short, rainy days are both a joy and pain.
