Wilde Woman, I know what you mean about moods and weather. Having lived a lifetime through perpetual seasons of drought, I still have to say rain and clouds can be dreary and depressing, even when rain is desperately needed. In those situations, I usually thoroughly enjoy the first couple of days of clouds and rain but when it continues much beyond that it begins to seem gloomy and requires a conscious decision to embrace the whole event and be glad in it.
Robin, I hope HB gets his foot in the Medicare door, even if he is late in his attempts. It's too bad a little bit of your energy and drive can't rub off on him. Being more laid back myself, I've always wondered why energy couldn't have been distributed more toward a happy medium. Oh well, keep up your good work. I know it can't be easy for you to sit in a job where there is nothing to do but twiddle your thumbs!
Squirrel and Poirot, I don't know how people live with weather like yours. We do have events like that, rarely, here in north Texas, but usually years apart and they don't last but a few days when they do occur. Of course, when they do, it's pretty devastating because our systems are not prepared for it.
It's partly sunny here and will reach 60*, but the wind seems ferocious, even though it is out of the south! They say it's 25 mph but it seems more like 40. It has to be pretty strong for me to hear it inside my house and I heard it all night long. I was up at 5:00 for an hour or so, then went back to bed until 8:00. Moving like a slug, not even keeping up with a snail. Late breakfast, now it's time for lunch.
