Rain
It has been raining like crazy all week every since I went on my house hunting leave. It has been a pain in the butt to move furniture and buy stuff and set up the home, but I suppose it was worth it. Normally I like the rain, but that is only because I am able to find shelter somewhere, and drink a hot cup of coffee and burn a couple smokes.
Moving couches, and putting together furniture, and running back and fourth from stores and cars and all kinds of things in the rain on the other hand is not fun.
After I get all of the furniture into my house, and find a nice chair to put on the balcony, I hope it rains till the cows come home at that point. Because I have a whole pot of coffee and a carton of smokes waiting for that rainy day.
