Mother Nature Would Cock-Block Me if She Could...

I got off work at 3pm on Monday, eager and ready for my "second weekend." I had the 4th and 5th off from work, and work even decided to flash back to school days and give us early release on Monday.
There would be grilling and drinking and lots and lots of time by the pool (which, in the middle of the week, and part of a holliday would hopefully not be packed 45 ways from Sunday.)

Mother Nature, that coniving bitch, had other plans.

It began with the random sunshower as I was driving home from work.
Helpful Note: when it is sunny out and still raining on you, it's not a good omen. Nope, no 1976 version for me, this was purely the Julia Stiles remake.
But I was teased into hopeful feelings; I managed to spend about 90 minutes later that after noon semi-awake drinking cheap beer and looking less pale by the minute. Weather.com had partly cloud skies forcasted, and while it was muggy at the pre-4th of July party later that night, it seemed like a good fourth would happen.

But other than teasing glimpses of the sun it has been cloudy and raining for the entirety of my second weekend.

I go back to work tomorrow, and I fully expect it to get sunny and pleasant. Until Friday night or Saturday anyway...

Good news! It's supposed to rain until the weekend.

Raining when it's sunny is called "the devil beating his wife." That Better Than Ezra song finally makes sense.

In other news, this means it will be another week until my ceiling gets fixed with new holes forming every day...
