so i put on a super kicky outfit with stompin’ boots ready to take on the day. also: i did my hair so that it’s not just a pile of ass on my head.
then i realized that both my umbrella & wellies are unfortunately residing in my car, which is so totally not close to my apartment. so fucking not close to my apartment — but rather is safe and secure in my rented lot spot. fuck fuck fuck. i made due with heavy winter coat (which is suede, fuck!) and my grandpa hat which was a great help to keeping my head/face dry. and for a while it was ok. minimal water got in through my boot zippers and i was doing ok.
until the wind kicked up. then my arms and hands and sleeves got drenched trying to keep my hat on. seriously, the hat is the only thing that saved me. but because of the ice/hail/slush storms we’ve had recently, the warm weather and rain has done nothing but make everything ONE GIANT FUCKING PUDDLE on the sidewalks and curbs. the walk to my precious car was utterly treacherous.
then i get to the car, which is up to it’s fucking top rim of the hubcaps in water. the entire fucking lot was ONE GIANT FUCKING PUDDLE, no scratch that, it was a god damned LAKE. fucking fuck! i had no choice but to slog through it, and nothing is more disheartening than that first step into pure bullshit. water up past my ankles, almost to mid-calf…seeping into my shoes until i was completely submerged.
fucking FUCK.
winter coat: soaked to all hell
grandpa hat: fucking drenched
boots: completely saturated
pineapple: totally fucking hating the weather
i like the rain usually, i do. but not the windy, rainy, icy, impeding-my-commute-to-work/soaking-my-everything rain. fuck that. fuck it so hard.
