Depressing Weather

Seven of the last eight days have had measurable rain. On the eight day, there was also rain – just not enough to statistically count.

Emotionally? That’s another story.

Instead of being a May of getting out, this has been a May of staying in. I am suffering from sensory deprivation.

I know – how can you feel sorry for me, in the most modern, convenient and advanced society ever known? You never heard the Pilgrims complain about burnout&#185.

Of course, many are currently suffering more than I can even fathom. Flooding in parts of Massachusetts and New Hampshire is at historic levels. Here in Connecticut there are pockets of minor to moderate flooding.

I still feel myself moping around. Maybe my temper is shorter than it should be.

By tomorrow some limited sunshine will appear. Will I bounce right back, or is the rain a convenient target on which to blame my bad mood?

&#185 – The concept of Pilgrim burnout is not mine. I wish I could remember who first used it.

  1. Hi Geoff – As a former CT native having moved out here to Arizona three years ago, I feel your pain. One of the many reasons we left the state.

    Its so nice to wake up and see the sunshine and know 99.9% of the time you can plan an outside day even if its going to be 100 (my pool is calling my name).

    The weather forecasters out here have bulletins when they hear 30% chance of rain. You would get the biggest laugh. They could record a forecast and play it everyday.

    Hopefully brighter days are ahead but as we are reminded you do have the four seasons????? one of them being rain

  2. That was the reason my family moved to Orlando 11 years ago, we moved back 5 years ago but we had moved due to the harsh winters high cost of lving and too much rain. I’m yearning for Florida now.
