Has anyone else started construction on an ark? It’s rained here in southeastern PA for so long I’m beginning to see the animals pairing up. I planted seeds on one of the sunny mornings (which of course turned into maelstrom afternoons). I’m sure they’re either rotting in the excess water or floating down near Delaware by now. It’s wet here again this morning, with a forecast through Tuesday of more of the same.
How do you motivate yourself to do anything in this weather? There have been times I wished for a cloudy or wet day so I could stop lamenting not being out playing in the sun, but come on! I even waxed the floor of the study yesterday – I think I could stand some sunshine! We’re taking that trip to Scotland in August – the land of everyday drizzles and showers. Tell me, why aren’t we headed to Phoenix or Las Vegas where it’s hot and dry? Time to adapt to wellies and rain gear.
The good news is I have two projects coming in this week and next. That’s motivation enough to snap out of this rain-induced funk. A change in work perspective does it for me.
What does it for you? How’s the weather where you are?
The weather's awful, and we have flood warnings. I'm so tired of it.
I'm in Maryland, and we've had similar weather, although the sun has peeked out for brief periods in the past week or so. I am someone who is really affected by the weather, and my productivity drops significantly when the sun isn't out.
It's much of the same up here in Northeast Pennsylvania. I'm starting to dread watching the weather because all I see is rain in sight. Maybe the rapture is coming and this is God's new chosen land? If so, I hope I'm on the boat!
Getting back to the work connection, I actually have a much harder time staying motivated when it's sunny out, so I'm ataying fairly productive. The rain, however, makes it much harder for me to get out of bed in the morning, so I do get slow starts.
I'd be so much happier if these latent projects-to-be would just get signed already! I'm itching to do something else while the weather keeps me indoors.
Cooking, reading, wittling down the -ver-growing piles and piles of papers, magazines, catalogues, etc. are always indoor options for me. I might have time to do all three next week if this horrific weather continues.
I'm confident your workload will pick up soon and then you'll be wishing you had time to kill.
The weather in Columbus, OH is always a crapshoot. One day it's tropical, the next it's cool and breezy. Today, I heard that we're second only to Seattle in number of cloudy days.
We'd love to have a little of your rain down here in the south Texas drought.
