It's been raining for three days straight in Boone so far and it's expected to continue raining until Sunday. I am all for snuggling up to a movie and a hot cup of coffee on a cold rainy day. But the rain really sucks when it's all week long, nonstop, and you need to be productive all week. The rain makes me tired and really does affect my mood--I feel more tired and pessimistic. So clearly this week is going to go well for me just based on the weather (I'm actually not that superstitious, I just know how rain affects my mood and how my mood affects my life).
One thing I do love about rain though is thunderstorms. Where I live it storms everyday during the summer. Literally, every day. The storms move through quickly but they will come, no matter what. My dad and I used to go sit out on our screened-in back porch and watch the storms. I always thought they were so amazing yet scary, which made me not want to look away. When it storms at night I love how the lightning lights up the sky, and for a split second it almost looks like it's daytime again. You can see everything that the night is trying to hide, if you look closely enough. I used to personify the sky and wonder what it was so mad at or what it was crying about. To me, storms are beautiful.
However, during the school year it rarely storms in Boone and I don't have a porch to sit on or my dad to keep me company. I can maybe count on one hand the number of times I've seen it storm in Boone with actual thunder and lightning. Otherwise, it's just regular rain or snow. Ew.
In conclusion, please go away rain. Thank you.
