desperanceIf it doesn't stop raining soon, I shall go mad.
Go mad, or go out and get needlessly wet. One or the other. There is beginning to be no other option.
I don't believe I got out of the door at all yesterday. Today, I was all set: bag packed for Lit & Phil, all I had to do was dump this morning's work onto the thumb drive and I was away.
Except the damn thumb drive wouldn't thumb. Hardware couldn't find it, or software couldn't recognise it, I dunno. I tried logging out and logging back in again: no difference. I tried a soft reboot: no difference. I tried a hard reboot, and yay. We have thumbs.
I copied the file, added the drive to the laptop bag, put on my boots, looked out of the window - and saw umbrellas.
It's tipping down.
Ordinarily, rain won't stop me. Ordinary rain won't stop me. That? Would just be stupid. I'd get to the library soaked and pathetic, and drip miserably onto the laptop. Which is Heavenly and Perfect, and so like a cat, and so does not like to be wet.
And no, of course I don't need to go to town. Yes, of course I can stay in and work here. Of course I can.
Just, I can't think sitting down. It's the walking that matters. I'm okay today, because the storyline's been doing a fair bit of dropping into place lately, and I can see as far as the headlights can reach - but that may only be one day's work, maybe two. I need to get out there. I need a break in the weather.
I don't actually positively need your actual sunshine, but, y'know? It is August. It might be nice.
