Warm Rain During Winter & my Crappy Mood

Good grief! This weather is driving me nuts. It has me feeling emotional and depressed.

We all know that one of the things that brightens our days is well, daylight. Sunlight more specifically. I need sunny days to feel better and right now, the weather is just not my friend. I know I sound petulant but if you suffer or have ever suffered from depression then you understand where I’m coming from, right now at this moment I wish I could clear the clouds and let the sunrays through. Literally.

With the recent changes in my life and relationship, the last thing I need is to feel down or withdrawn. Yesterday I pushed through it but today, I just gave up. Its too much. I find myself battling anger and tears and frustration. I am upset about everything and nothing. I am fully aware that this is temporary but it sucks. I have no desire or energy to do a single thing.

Thankfully, I managed to finish my homework earlier today and just in time because if I had waited to do my homework “later” I would be screwed right now. I suppose my mind knew this was coming and somehow convinced me to get ahead of the game. Glad I listened to my brain.

Now, I am not down in a way that may worry people around me, no. I am just feeling way off and not right. It will pass but in the meantime I feel trapped in my head with myself and whatever emotions I have been bottling up for weeks. And trust me, its a lot to deal with at the moment.

While I do love winter and its grey days, this rain just throws me off. Plus, its not even really cold so I think that’s another reason why its just not working for me. Its grey, wet and somewhat warmish. Its yucky and just nasty. Can the day just be over? Let’s just start a new one already.

Anyways, I am going to try and get some exercise in, I feel that it just may help my mood (Endorphins and all that). I will do a quick workout, take a bath (not a shower) with my favorite bath bombs and bath bars and just let my mind calm down. I should also read a book while drinking a hot cuppa.

Thanks for reading my post and hope your day is going better than mine, truly. Take care and remember to do the things that make you happy.

Rainy Days at Work


The worst day for me to be at the office is on a rainy day. I would much rather be at home, reading, cooking or even playing video games.

Coming to work on a rainy day is just so boring. Dont get me wrong, I do work and complete my tasks on time but dang it!, I prefer to be off work and at home. Or, even out walking downtown. I have never shyed away from a rainy walk while being surrounded by nature. There is absolutley something comforting about the sound of rain drops hitting the leaves and the soothing scent of wet dirt.

It never fails, as soon as I make it through what I call “Hade’s Traffic” and enter the office my spirit just fades, I know it sounds dramatic but come on, surely you feel it too?! The agony of it all, the darkened clouds and the rain tapping softly in the windows has to be a trigger for that “oh, I wish I were home today” feeling.

Ok, enough lamenting and whinning. Until the day we get to win the lotto, we must do what we have to do right? So don’t despair and keep pushing. One of these days we will find our sunshine within our rainy day 🙂

Take care,

Mrs Jones
