Day 223 (Empty Again) - Perhaps Not the Best Day for Walking

With the warmer weather, I've started walking to work.  I love it!  It takes me about 35 minutes to walk 2 miles and by the time I get to work I feel all invigorated and ready to work!!  I feel like I can slay 100 beasts!

This morning was a wonderful 51 degrees but rain was in the forecast, so I slipped on my heavier jacket, put my umbrella in my backpack and set out for work.  My morning trip was wonderful!  In fact, I got too hot with my sweat jacket and heavier coat on top.  But coming home was a different story.  The weather man was right...rain hit about the same time I was getting off work.  It was coming down pretty hard so I stayed and worked an extra hour, but when it appeared that it wasn't going to let up soon, I decided I couldn't stay at the library all night.  With that decision, I donned my coat, pulled out my umbrella and started the trek home.

Everything would have turned out just fine if there hadn't been a wind with the rain.  My head and upper body stayed nice and dry but my pants and shoes were soon saturated.  I certainly felt a little chilled by the time I got home!  But my attitude was still all sunshine! :)

And now I look out the window and what do I see?  Sunshine!  Sheesh!  You just never know!!
