I made a rush decision this morning. I wanted to go to the National Statistics Office to get a certified copy of my birth registry. I still have the original and the paper is already yellow, with tears on all sides, but the printed material is still readable. It is only now that I am finishing my retirement papers because the government agencies won't accept retirement forms due to their prioritizing the members who are sick with the virus. I therefore told my son to accompany me this afternoon, in time when a scheduled 3-hour power interruption will take place (from 1pm to 3pm). Alas, the brownout did not happen. I and my son had our plan, ONLY if there is brownout. But because there is no brownout, I decided to postpone tomorrow morning; it is cooler, unlike this afternoon which is hot. But it rained, and still is raining! Well and good! Our decision to push through with my activity tomorrow morning should be done. It is better this way; besides, I think it is no use informing the Dean of the College of Nursing that I won't be going back as a CI anymore. I welcome the rain. Do you postpone your activity when it rains on the day you plan to do it?

it is really a blessing that the rains provide coolness in our surroundings; it also cools down the hot-tempered people.

It depends on what I had planned. Usually I do not postpone because of the rain.

we were also finish 3/4s of my goal yesterday even though it rained while i was in the NSO. we still had to have our lunch at home so we bought our lunch on take-out from a food store. for me too, if it is planned, i set my mind conditioned, so i have to do it by hook and by crook.

It depends which activity, if I planned to mow the lawn I postpone, if I need to go shopping I go even if it rains.

I usually have alternative plans depending on what is going on. Usually, I don’t postpone activities when it rains.
