Rainy Afternoon

Has it stopped raining? Can  we go throw the ball now?


The tornadoes from the American Midwest, the same storm that closed the airports in Chicago yesterday, blew into Toronto at 5:00 pm. I find it fascinating that we can track weather so precisely that we can know exactly when it will hit us.

Anyhow, those big fat rain drops started falling just as Cadie and I were heading out for our afternoon walk, and if you were reading this blog back in September you'll know that I feel that this is a personal attack. Although the more reasonable side of my brain knows that this is just a base conspiracy theory.

The downside of the downpour is that Cadie didn't get enough exercise again last night, and she spent most of the evening bouncing off my walls.

The upside is that the rain wasn't that bad, and so far it looks like today is going to be a great day. The other upside is that there's nothing I like more than wrapping Cadie in a towel and having a nice, long snuggle with her, which is exactly what I got last night.

Rain Rain Go Away!

Driving into work today I heard the the most welcome news; the rain is set to end tomorrow and we'll have sunny weather straight through the long weekend. Hurray!

Honestly I couldn't take another day of rain. Every day, it seems, for the last week I would be sitting at my desk, worrying about the ominous sky, and every day, it seems, at 4:20 or 4:30 the clouds would open up and the down came the rain. Needless to say it washed out our walk just about every evening. We had a sunny Sunday, but unfortunately I was on the couch with a head ache and a bit of fever. It left me wondering why the universe hates me so much it would purposely steal the highlight of my day. I'm just being honest, that's how I felt at the end of the day, and last night's most depressing episodes ever of both Glee and Being Erica just worsened the my sense that I've been cheated.

But all of that is behind me, the sun is due to come out, and stay out for the whole of the long weekend, maybe the universe doesn't hate me. This means tons of long walks, and bright happy sunshine, and a great meal.

in other, dog-related news Cadie found her Tricky Treat Ball (TTB) I have no idea why I didn't see it when I looked under the bed, but I didn't, meanwhile, eagle eyes Cadie put her paw on it right away, so at least I now have something to distract her while I'm trying to head out to work.

Rainy Day Relief

Hermione has come home. I can't tell you how much of a relief it is to have my car back. The drive home last night was gruelling, but it was worth it, as it took me only 15 minutes to get to work today. Also it's supposed to rain today so I'm glad that I'll have the ability to dive to and from the park if needs be.

As a general rule Cadie hates to be out in the rain, but then she didn't get as much exercise as she needs last night, so we may be walking through a steady stream in a soggy park after all.

happy, rainy Thursday everyone!
