Productivity makes everything seem sunnier (when the sun is no where in sight...)

It is not even 9:30am yet and I can say I've had a productive morning. I woke up at 8, read the last 30 pages for my fiction workshop this afternoon and then decided it was time to leave my warm, cozy nest. I made myself a cup of coffee, checked and sent the necessary emails, and made myself eggs and an english muffin. I finished reading at the kitchen counter while discussing the uncharacteristically icky SoCal weather we have been having as of late with one of my roommates and her boyfriend. Facebook, check. Then browsed the blogs I follow (...the number is growing by the way, much to my HaPpiNeSs!!) and now I am here, thinking a 'good morning' blog post would be the icing on my lovely morning.

Yesterday was also note worthy-- I did my laundry, put my clothes away, wiped down the bathroom counters, made progress on getting cable (the most inconvenient/stressful chore I've ever had to do) Jackie brought me over the new John Mayer CD :) and I went to bed relatively early.

It has been down-pouring (and I don't use that word lightly) for three days now and I am here to tell whoever it is who is responsible for these tears that it is time to stop. Californians don't know how to drive in the rain, let alone trenchal ones, so please don't make them try. Their drainage systems are not prepared for these volumes of water-- lanes are turning into lakes. And over half our student body do not own rain coats, so really, you're just getting everyone sick.

SO, Mr. Sun... I miss you. Please come back, Mr. Stormy is oh-so-grumpy and my happiness is very fragile when it comes to all things weather related. I only have so much left in me... xoxo, Lauren
