I hate weather like this. It’s been about a week where glimpses of the sun are few and far between; gray clouds and rain overwhelming the local 7-day weather forecasts. The doom and gloom seem to seep into my skin and infect my overall attitude, leaving me eager to do nothing more than just sit under an afghan and watch tv.
Eddie and I went out yesterday, taking a trip downtown to check out the Providence Arcade. This didn’t go very well at all since we couldn’t find a place to park close to the building and we didn’t want to be stuck walking in the rain, so we ended up going to Thayer Street to visit the shops down there. We had a fantastic pizza for lunch and checked out the little stores, where I got to squee over a huge selection of Sanrio items and drool over boxes of beads. We left Thayer and drove back to Warwick to go to Newbury Comics, Target, and FYE. We picked up a used copy of Lost: Season 1, then came back home. I headed for the bathroom with my upset tummy while Eddie went to the store to pick up some food for dinner. I was sitting at my desk, checking email, when he came home and announced, “I got something special for you.”
I turned around and he was holding out a beautiful bouquet of yellow and white roses, bought for no other reason than he thought that I needed them because I seemed so sad all day. They’re currently sitting in a vase atop the tv, where Chaucer can’t reach them and munch on the leaves (again). We had a bunch of tacos for dinner and watched Lost before making our way to the bedroom to watch some SNL. Jonah Hill sucked, so we didn’t watch much and just went to sleep.
I slept late this morning, lounging in the bed under the warmth of the comforter and curled up with a stuffed animal. Eddie came home at lunchtime and we went to McDonald’s, then left to return to work. I’m downloading some music in an attempt to recreate my former music collection that was on my external drive prior to last summer’s move. We’ll be going to my mother’s house for dinner and a movie tonight. At this very moment the sun is making an effort to burn through the clouds, so maybe it won’t be too gloomy for the rest of the day,
