Rain

Oh rain, how I long for you. It rained a few days ago and I slept the best I have slept in well frankly a long time. I miss the rain, and there is nothing more that I would love than just a day with pouring rain, not this light drizzle but hard rain, rain that soaks you instantly. I mean I did enjoy the rain we got when we were in Oregon for Thanksgiving, but the excess wind wasn't necessary. I loved the hard rain and seemingly "gloomy" feel of the day but the carport falling apart and the garbage can lid slapping the trailer was not so peachy if you ask me. 

I miss having those long and drawn out wind and rain storms that made it difficult to function because you got soaked from the door to the car, or you almost got blown away. We don't get much of that here, it is rather bland unless we get a random thunder and lightening storm with snow, that was interesting for sure. I secretly would love to be a storm chaser. The adrenaline rush, the amazing views, the amazing once in a life time feelings, and sights would be so worth the terrifying moments. I would love to sit and watch a tornado (from a fairly safe distance mind you), or a mild hurricane. I will pass on the flooding and what not, I have already been there done that. When I was a little girl I told my mommy that I wanted to be a news caster, now that I think about it I would have wanted to be in the action with the storms. I wanted to be the girl holding the inverted umbrella through the storm with crazy things going on in the background. It is just something that I would love to watch.

Not to mention I have some experience. I mean during storms we would always drive to the wayside and watch the tide, and the stupid people that still thought it was acceptable to walk on the beach, one lady in particular who thought it was necessary to attempt (key word) to walk on the beach with heels. Mom and I would sit outside and watch the lightening come and go in Sandpoint. One time we had a really bad electric storm and Austin and I went to the store before it really hit. On our way back a HUGE bolt of lightening made contact with the ground a block away from the car, it was kinda scary for a moment but then when we got home I sat outside on his deck and watched the storm while eating my cheetoe puffs. The summer micro storms are the best because it is warm and the rain is warm. 

I think the best rain I have ever been in was the rain in Maui. Just because it came down so hard but it didn't really sink into you. It was so warm like a hot shower. I mean that was the best warm rain. The best normal rain that I have been in was in Oregon and all it did was just pour down for days and days and it felt so good on your skin and sounded so rhythmic on the roof and the windows. It was amazing. 

I just miss it so much. I miss being saturated with rain. I miss being able to sleep. I hate it so much. I hate tossing and turning every night, waking up feeling like I have had all the moisture sucked out of my body. I feel like I need a humidifier because this is just ridiculous. Meh.

Well that is all.
