If you don't like the weather in Seattle, wait 15 minutes

[butterflydreaming]

 An hour ago it was pouring down rain, and I decided that I should nevertheless go out for a walk, etc., or else I might be indoor all day. Fifteen minutes ago, while it was still raining, I went out again to fix the gate that keeps getting stuck. 

And now it's not raining at all.

But I'm not motivated to go out...

my secret plan worked

my rain jacket is no longer waterproof. it failed miserably (again) during the morning dog walk today, so I finally pulled the trigger on ordering a new one.

I was just joking with C that the rain is guaranteed to disappear as soon as the package arrives next week. apparently the intention is all that was necessary :D

My "waterproof" rain jacket is less --proof that it used to be. Ten minutes, and I began to feel a trickle down my back. So thank you for activating weather perversity.

ugh. my shoulders had been going for a while, but today it was the hood dripping cold water on my neck. that was the last straw.

the coat I found was from the REI garage for 50% off, so I think it's time to start watching for end-of-season clearances.
