Rainy Days and Mondays

Rainy Days and Mondays

We’ve got a big, blustery storm that moved into the Pacific Northwest over the weekend. It’s been blowing and quite rainy for several days. The forecast looks as if it’s here to stay for a few more days yet.

Therefore, instead of bemoaning a situation that can’t be controlled, such as weather, I’m going to embrace it. After all, there are several Gore-tex jackets in my closet, plenty of hats, and a couple pair of Hunter rainboots.

Plus, other than delivering keys to new buyers this afternoon, my day is free for catching up on online marketing and paperwork. It’s cozy in my home office, I’ll light a few candles, and sip hot tea. :)

Alexandra. Your day sounds great too. I'll be fine for a few more days, but then, we'd better see some drying.

Hi there Joan - yes indeed. I don't worry about my hair much when it's like this. :)

Deborah - it is messy when we have to trudge through yards, and muddy walk ways at times to show homes. But, that's why we get the big bucks right?

Q-man, by about February, I'll be ready. Do you have a large couch for all of us, including Mac? Hahaha. Just kidding.

Debb, we had that all of last week, every single day, all day long. I love rainy days as it forces me to catch up on things I wouldn't otherwise. I love your attitude!

Hi Debb - We saw what was happening on the news, and hope you guys dry out soon. After our week of rain, the sun being out yesterday was an irresistable magnet to get outside.

It's great to have a catch up day, especially with a cup of hot tea and time to get some work done.

Debb, What a good excuse to stay in and get work done and sip tea. Some things you can't change, you just embrace them.

Debb, Sounds like a good day to stay inside and stay dry. Candles and hot tea should brighten the mood for sure.

Thumbs up to embracing the weather! Lots of rain can often signal changes coming - it is washing away the old to allow for the new!

Hi Debb -

I understand totally how you feel. I sell real estate in Corvallis, Oregon AND Santa Cruz, CA. Yes, right now I am in Santa Cruz with big blue sky. :) The funny thing is - CA wants the rain, actually NEEDS the rain. Let's send CA just a little rain.
