So it rained yesterday. And I totally did not see it coming at all. It was sunny most of the day and then 3 PM rolls around and I am stuck walking out in the pouring down rain. Now usually I don't mind getting wet if I don't have to be stuck in wet clothes for a long time, but of course this was the day that I would be stuck in them for the rest of the night.
Not only was I going to be stuck in wet clothes, I chose the worst clothes to wear. First, I thought it was going to be cold, so I layered up a long sleeve shirt under a turtleneck and then a fleece over that, which of course didn't have a hood. I was sweating most of the morning but was too lazy to take off a layer for good. Then I was wearing black flats that were mainly cloth. As it began to rain, my shoes decided to soak up the water and now I had wet, cold feet. Then I didn't think to roll up my pants, so by 7PM they were basically wet up to the knee.
The last straw came when I attempted using my umbrella. I hate dealing with them, but I didn't have a hood to shield the rain. As I opened it, I realized that it was broken. It wouldn't open fully, so I felt like a retard carrying it around. Then as I was walking later that night, the wind picked up and I pulled a Mary Poppins. My umbrella was completely inside out, but I forced it back to normal. Then one side of it was flopping down because of the broken metal piece. Remind me not to get a $5 umbrella again at Walmart....
So I discovered yesterday that I should be more prepared for the weather. I think I might need a new umbrella and perhaps a pair of those colorful rainboots.....
Keep a look out for my umbrella and rainboot findings!!
