Rain Rain... Don't Go Away... Stick Around Until Friday!

All of my life I can remember hating being hot. Being born in southern California did not help that at all either. My upper lip always had beads of sweat on it... I remember always wiping it away with the sleeve of my shirt. I remember my mama always telling me that she wouldn't fix me warm milk bottles... they were always coolish. She said that when I had a warm one... the sweat would just pour off of me and by the time she was done feeding me the bottle I would have her all sweaty too. I am the same today as I was when I was little. I get so cranky when I get hot. I hate hot weather. I hate high temperatures. I hate a hot woodstove in the winter. Rich always puts that shrink plastic stuff on our windows in the winter. He knows if he wants to live... he better leave me one main window that can be opened during the winter. My favorite temperature is 65 degrees F. 70 if there is a nice cool breeze. You're pushing the limits as it creeps up towards 75.... and 80? NO WAY! Anything above 72.5 degrees is way too much for me! This past week has only given me a small teeny weeny sample of the summer we are yet to have. I know it will be much worse. One day this week it got up to 93 degrees F. (((YUCK!!!))) I was miserable.... cranky.... mean.... miserable... cranky..... oh... did I mention I was cranky? Today at work was my friday. I so terribly wanted cooler weather for my two days off. So this morning while I was getting dressed in my dark house... I prayed to God. "Please let it rain today... and on my days off. Please bring some clouds and some wind... nice and cool... please please please. In Jesus name... Amen." Well...... as I was driving across the valley to get to work this morning at 3:53 a.m., I noticed over the mountains in the east... darkened edges of cloudwork... brushed with streaks of white pulsating flashes of light... and I said..."YES! Thank you Lord!!!" Well... we had a little rain... a little wind... alot of clouds... and one very happy Suzii! Personally... I hope it does this for the rest of the week. We have to go to Spokane on Thursday... (in the little red sardine can)... and I would like for it to be cool and breezy and a little rainy if it so chooses! I hope this does not put a damper on anyone else... and I hope no picnics were cancelled on my account... but it cannot be sunny forever! So was this a fluke of nature? Or my prayer being answered? I like this verse in the bible very much... (I have it highlighted in pink!)... Zechariah 10:1 "Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who makes the storm clouds. He gives showers of rain to men, and plants of the field to everyone." The best time for napping, or sleeping in general, is when it is raining. I love the "smell of the rain"... (I know ya know what I am talking about). I think perhaps I may have enjoyed the voyage of Noah... (minus a few gozillian animals)... but the animals were vital to Noah honoring the request of God himself! ((I can't even handle our doggy on roadtrips to town... which is only 6 miles one way!)) High five for Noah!! So... to make a long story short... I love today! ((please let it rain for two more days...please please please)). ***psssst... it's raining really hard again and the clouds are covering my house!!! hehehehehehehe...I LOVE IT!!! It's raining so hard it will beat the hair off a toad!
