Rainy and windy day

There were some items on sale at two of my supermarkets that I wanted to get. My plan was to go there today, but it’s windy and raining. I decided against going out to the stores for now. I don’t particularly mind the weather, but it’s hard to carry bags of groceries and an umbrella at the same time. I do not want to get soaked. I will wait a little bit and see if the rain and the wind will stop. If that happens I will go. But if not, I will have to leave it for a different day. I really wanted to leave the house. Sitting here doing nothing is only gonna make me tired and emotionally down. Maybe I’ll read a little bit to pass the time.

Maybe you could wear a swim suit and a parka.

I could’ve worn a raincoat, but I don’t think I have one. I used to but don’t know where it went.

I finally got out today, and it felt so much better than being inside. But I wouldn’t want to juggle bags and an umbrella either.

It’s not raining anymore but now I’m not in the mood to do shopping.

It definitely is better to be out and about than being inside all day.

I hope the sunshine comes out again soon. I usually spend the day at my PC and some part of the afternoon laying down and reading,

It’s definitely better to do shopping when it’s nice out.

Me neither. I can go to the supermarkets by taking the train, which is free but today it is running every 45 minutes so potentially if I end up missing the train I will have to wait for it for that long and I don’t want to do that. And because the two supermarkets are not next to each other I have to take the train from one to the other.

You need to go get some fresh air Lena. Sitting around in the house is not good for you It's mid April, get up and get active

It’s almost 11 PM. I just went outside to take out the garbage and that was it for the day.

That makes sense, carrying groceries in that weather is not easy at all. Waiting it out sounds like the better call, especially if you can still go later. Do you think the weather might clear up later today?
