only a matter of time

It was only a matter of time before I broke down. I hated trudging through the rain this morning. I was so mad that I was wearing my rainboots, rainpants and raincoat. Usually I can get away with rainboots and a raincoat. Standing in the rain for 30 minutes with a stubborn St. Bernard didn't add to my affinity for the island either or did my cell phone refusing to work after getting slightly damp while using it. Cursing my choice for a new job, I curled up in bed with the space heater on, trying to get warm and dry.

Self-pity over, I went back into town again later. The sun was out and I was able to remove my rain coat. One tends to get sweaty in plastic clothing. I talked with Liz, ate a chocolate cupcake and headed back home. Now, the sun is out for the second time today. This place must be exquisitely beautiful in the summer when the sun is out more frequently. Blue skies, green all around, views of the mountains...breathtaking. Feeling a little better, I look forward to seeing Inglourious Basterds at the visitor's center and going to the Rummage Sale and the Salvation Army this weekend. My first day of work is Monday and maybe that will help me keep my mind busy, even when the weather's not so great.
