Rain

Rain. Wonderful, refreshing, rejuvinating, reviving, renewing, revitalising, regenerating, restoring, repairing, invigorating RAIN! So much rain has fallen this morning and it is continuing to bless the land around us.

I must admit that all the rain which has fallen in the last 12 hours has done something to my sanity and the adventures which I have had this morning don't really attribute to the amazing qualities of rain which I just desribed. Let me explain.
  1. To begin with my alarm went off. Not a great start to the day (although it is usually the only start I get to the day), especially because I do not like mornings. This morning was not the best mornings because it was raining and the only thing you want to do when it's raining is snuggle up in bed.
  2. I was locked out of the house. I had a sleep shift last night and then I went to the gym. When I got to the house I'm housesitting, my sister had left and she took the key with her. I was stuck there in my gym clothes, on the back verandah , without a proper means of showering, to get ready for uni. I didn't have breakfast or grab any food for uni.
  3. I drove to uni. On the roads that had turned into rivers. In reality, I'm sure that it would have been much more effective if I had taken a boat, but that wasn't working. Fortunately I got to uni without my car breaking down.
  4. I was late. I am regualrly late for class but not 25mins late for class.
  5. I didn't have an umbrella. Due to the fact I was locked out of the house, I couldn't very well grab and umbrella to attmept to keep myself dry while walking in the rain.
  6. My socks and shoes got wet. As well as the rest of me. But my cold, wet feet are the most uncomfortable.
  7. The lecture theatre was flooded. Not that this was a problem for me but the soggy floor wasn't the nicest.
  8. I'm still wet.
  9. I'm also hungry.
  10. I also should be doing some work.
  11. I also cannot be bothered.
Still, I am very thankful to our heavenly father for blessing the lands with so much rain, even if it is falling in such a short amount of time.
