Rainy Day?

The day started out so cloudy and gray. It even drizzled a bit on me as I walked our dog. Living in the desert, rainy days are actually welcome.

I love this snap. It was taken when Munchkin #1 first met our new dog at the doggie adoption place. Both kid and dog are good for each other.

I love living where we live, but I'm so ready to change abodes. I'm tired of the constant noise. I'm tired of the constant driving to get anywhere. I'm tired of being nearly run over by taxis each time I take the dog for a stroll. I'm tired of the munchkins not being able to have an ocean of friends over because there's just no space. But, I'm concerned that hunting for a new abode is going to be an emotionally charged and painful process. I need peace to forge along with the task ahead.

One of the really odd things about living here is that many many many times people are so very rude to one another. It is so very hard to get used to. And frankly, I don't know if I ever want to get used to it. Some days it is harder to just blow off the rude behaviour. Some days it is so very hard to not say, "Really? Do you really think that being so very rude to other people is going to actually help you get ahead in life? Really?"

Well, I need to go grocery shopping. Maybe it will drizzle a little more while I'm driving. I love rainy days.

Peace.
