PDF Yes, I know Florida desperately needed rain, but this is ridiculous! It has rained, non-stop without a bit of sun for at least 5 days in a row. To be honest it feels more like 20 or so, and while my yard looks like a sea of emeralds and the magnolia tree is finally blooming, I’m coming apart at the seams.
I think everyone enjoys a stormy day once in a while. I know I do and the first day of rain was glorious. The temperature dropped about 20 degrees, there was a beautiful breeze and rolling thunder that made it the perfect day for sleeping, catching up, and generally just slowing down. Day 2 was more of the same, but with an underlying antsy feeling. Day 3 I started coming down with the physical symptoms of the emotional reaction to three days without sunshine. My son said that he thinks I must be solar powered, and I think he’s got a point. I started to feel a sore throat coming on and by day 4 I was sporting a low-grade fever. Coincidence? I don’t think so, no one around me is sick and I haven’t been anywhere to contract anything. As the days progress I’m just getting worse. This morning I woke up with allergy induced pink eye. You didn’t know there was such a thing, did you? Neither did I, but there is. It’s not contagious, but it sure is ugly and uncomfortable. It’s not raining right now, but the sun isn’t out either. The forecsast doesn’t call for sun till Monday, but I’m really hoping against hope that we see a little before then.

Ack I love rain! We don’t get enough here. Way too much sunshine. That stinks about your not feeling well.

I’ve always joked that I have seasonal affective disorder, because I need to see SUN! My blood pressure increased as I read your post. Oh, I feel for you! I love to be outside and the sun is a source of energy for me. “Rain rain go away….” When the sun peeks through, take advantage of it bigtime!
