there beneath the blue suburban skies

i am vaguely annoyed.

it has been raining incessantly for the past few days and the first time it actually looks like it's going to stop for a while, my running shoes are out of action because of sole problems so i can't go for a run. i skipped in my front porch the past two evenings so i'm going to be thankful that i actually have a front porch to skip in. plus i missed the last two days - monday and tuesday - of good running weather because i succumbed to stomach flu during the equity lecture on monday. but still, much as i appreciate the wet weather - there's just something about grey skies that appeal to me, that and the way rain falls - there's a kind of mould in the air now, and i wouldn't mind a day of real, brilliant sunshine just to air everything. pillows, towels, whatever. ironing shirts dry doesn't cut it either, you need real sunshine for them to feel right when you wear them.

also, i'm one of those impatient people who can never wait for hot liquid things like soup and milo to cool down before i drink them. this often translates into scalded tongues. i made milo late last night because i felt hungry and of course, not being able to wait to drink it, i scalded my tongue. it's better this morning but it still feels weird.
