It's Raining, It's pouring

Happy St Jean Baptiste Day commrades of French Canada. Lucky Quebec - 2 long weekends in a row (taking advantage of two "national" holidays. I am so Anglo - I resent the spirit of this holiday, which I find rather steeped in separatism, but God damn am I going to take advantage of it. Because the library is closed.

That said, it's raining.

And that said - I don't care.

I don't know if it's because I was raised in the prairies, but I LOVE rain. Rain in Alberta meant sun showers or epic thunderstorms, and it was always a treat. Which I guess is a good attitude, since I went on to live on Vancouver Island, and in the UK and Halifax. All kinds of coastal rain in my past.

My plan for today? Nesting. Big time nesting. I am going to make zucchini bread, do my laundry, tidy my apartment, watch a movie, and hopefully go for a run. I actually love going for runs in the rain. Not for long or anything, but when I run my body feels so hot and dry, so the rain distracts me from that. And I own two pairs of sneakers anyway.


My neighbour's cat has been coming in to visit me (sorry She Ra!) and I thought this picture captured exactly what I want to do today. 




 Any other rain worshippers out there? I am usually the only one.
