This was my facebook status on a cloudy day last week. This week, however, I knew about how depressing rainy days can be so I had mentally prepared my mind on how to combat the sunless day.
I went out for a walk after my boys left. It was raining, and a little bit windy but I uncharacteristically went ahead with it. Just a short 20 to 30 minutes around the block and I even broke a few sweats. I guess because I was swearing a windbreaker since it was raining. I even had an umbrella on my hand as I trudge through the rainwater cover sidewalk. The route isn't exactly that fancy but a part of it is a small farming field filled with different crops that are being grown in the "illegal" farm area. There were peanuts, green peppers, sweet potatoes, lettuces, and I even spotted a small row of beets. It was really good feeling walking around these things and always makes me wish to be able to secure a small plot for myself one day. I have no idea how though. For the meantime, let me savor the good feeling even just looking at them every step of my morning walk.
My other plan for the day to combat the gloomy weather is to bake! I got some beets and carrots that are waiting to be used up so my list of kitchen stuff is pretty full now. How am I going to finish all of these, on top of other house chores and teaching on side, not to mention the supposedly prepping for my other goals, I don't know. Well, at least I've got some bread to eat now. And pink at that!
I'll just have to figure out what to prepare for dinner tonight. Sigh*
