rain, rain, rain keeps coming down, down, down

it's raining.

a lot.

there is a small (read: large) pond that has developed outside on the path, there is actually someone wading through it leisurely while small animals are flailing about to avoid drowning.

i am anticipating lots of flooding in my laundry room, and from the roof.

i am very very very happy for my front garden which does not get watered (no tap, so it's only watering can, but that only does so much good) but is constantly baking in the sun.

i am somewhat less happy for me, because i am feeling cruddy and was going to go home, but i don't really feel like being sick AND standing in a rainstorm without an umbrella. the question on everyone's (read: my) mind is, what will win out, the desire to lay down so i don't feel like i'm going to die, or the desire to stay dry...
