It rained all night, and more rain is expected all day. Actually rain is expected for a week. No bike riding in this kind of weather. Usually my criteria to ride is a prediction of less than 40% chance of rain. I just need a half hour window of clear skies at exactly the right time, two times a day and I will ride. It's pretty obvious that summer time in Florida it rains, but I'm determined to not let it side track my plans if I can. So I plan on getting wet.
What about you? Are you going to pout and whine about it raining, or being too hot? Shit happens like this in the summer. Everyday actually. It's either hot or rainy. Both are good things, in their own way. So you have to just live with it. This is NORMAL. Get over it.
Do what you would do anyway. If you can't do anything outdoors, guess what - I bet you could do some indoor projects. There are lots of times during the year when we know we need to do a job but put if off saying "It's too nice out, let's do that some rainy afternoon". Well, here's my list -
- clean the bathrooms - sink, vanity, mirror, toilet, shower, tub.
- vacuum the carpets, mop the floors, even get out the attachments
- wash laundry
- change the bed sheets
- polish and dust the furniture, table tops, vents
- clean and organize my desk - get rid of the piles of old mail and papers
- paint touch up spots we missed from our remodel, plus other walls needing it
- toss expired coupons, booklets and flyers. Label and organize the valid ones.
- clean up the pantry and toss old food and spices
- bake some cookies like chocolate chip
- have sex with your partner, or by yourself
- make some salads - like corn salsa, pea salad or broccoli salad
- go through closets and clean out those clothes you haven't worn in two years
- organize your spare room whatever you use it for, there is stuff in there that needs to be tossed out or donated.
