Tired of the rainy season

Tweet

I like the rainy season, for a while. It usually hits us about the second week of June (often on the day of high school graduation; it was late this year) and marks a cooler period than we had in the spring during May, which can get uncomfortably hot and dusty. It tamps down the dust and our sinuses are not coated in brown dust like in the spring. We don't have grit between our teeth. What we do have is grey, dreary days that the mold in our wooden houses loves. Did I mention I'm allergic to mold? Every morning when I come downstairs, it stinks like mold. The upstairs is starting to smell bad too. I run a dehumidifier in some rooms, and I have under-the-floor ventilation fans that are supposed to help, but circulating damp air for an entire month, I must say, is no longer cutting it. It's July 17 and often the rainy season ends on July 15, right on the nose, though the average for my area is July 21. Last year it was late ending. This year it was late starting. I'm quite ready for it to be done. When it ends, I can start complaining about the terrible heat and humidity. Currently I am still in long pants and wearing a jacket! Do you gripe no matter what the weather? I don't usually gripe during the fall, and possibly the warmer part of the winter. But right now I'm griping.
