Well, today wasn't too bad. I got stuck on express lane all day long, which sucked of course, but my sick friend was back today, and not sick anymore. :) I missed him. He looks tired but otherwise is all right, which makes me happy. We talked about books a lot and he got to leave work before I did, the little punk. *grin* Got to see a couple of my other friends too, and pass on some of the gifts I won as prizes for raising money for the MDA, (I got 3rd place for raising $447 dollars) which was nice. I like spoiling my friends and giving them things.

I was pretty exhausted when I got home but after some good dinner and time loafing on the couch, I decided to go out for a walk in the rain. (That's my twisted logic for you. Feel tired? Go for an hour long walk! Uphill!) It was fabulous. Unfortunately I think I must have pulled something in my right leg because it REALLY started hurting about mid-walk, and I had to cut things a little short, but I still had a good time. I probably looked like a crazy person with my hoodie on, splashing through puddles rescuing earthworms, listening to my iPod and not appearing to care that I was getting absolutely soaked, (I looked as though I'd had a nice long shower by the time I got home) but I don't care. It was perfect, and I felt a lot better/less depressed afterwards.

Sometimes I tell people at work (customers and employees both) that I like to walk in the rain, and they fritter about it and think I'm nuts, but I don't care about that, either. Sure, it's unusual, and sometimes a little dangerous, but that's what makes it worth doing. If you can't appreciate that, it's your loss, not mine. I'll do as I please and get away with it, just like I always have. ^_~ (It's one of the perks of being made entirely of Awesome.) Besides. Every now and then, you meet someone of a like mind, and that can be a lot of fun.

And with that, I now have to drag my tired, achy self to bed so I can prepare for my massive eight hour shift tomorrow. Let's all give a quick w00t for money and seeing friends for more than thirty minutes.

Walking is the rain is very refreshing.

I do it anytime I can. Loved being sent to the northernmost point in Scotland for 3 weeks.

I would walk in the rain to the community pool and then swim.
Usually laughing my ass off at the people rushing in to the pool area trying not to get wet or standing at the exit after swimming complaining about getting wet when they leave. :-)

Sure wet and clinging clothes are not real fun but it never seemed to soak in that much.
