Rain, rain go away!!

I am sick of rain, and that is not a good thing when we're only two weeks into summer in Tampa.  By summer I mean the temperatures are in the mid 80's to lower 90's, and it rains, literally, seven days a week.  Sometimes it drizzles other days it pours, but it's always there!  I'm sick of that sticky, feel like you just ran a mile even though you haven't made it from your front door to your car yet, kind of humidity.  You know, the kind that you seem to wear like an extra layer on a cold day, only it's not a cold day.  It's a hotter than hell, overcast, Seattle/Wales depressing kind of day.  Yeah, our entire summer is made up those kind of days.  Well, that is until August when the rain slows down a bit and only comes around 4:00 to stay for a few hours.

Sorry for all of the complaining, I don't like complainers, but damn this rain thing is really unpleasant.  Walking outside is almost like trying to walk through a tub of peanut butter (not that I've ever done that), but I imagine Florida summers to be very much like that.  Okay well my rant is over, thanks for reading.  Enjoy your dry, humid summers in Tennessee, and Sara, if you're reading this like you say you are, then try to enjoy those lovely sixty degree, dry, sunny Chicago days.  I miss them...and Slappy and Gizmo.  Okay well have a nice night, and enjoy the blessed sound of silence as you sleep and not the pitter patter, splatter splatter of giant, careless rain drops.  I'll write to you soon!
