Thirty Days Meme: Day 22 - It's a Miserable Day

It's been raining and grey nearly all of today.  Not just the odd shower, but constant rain - sometimes just drizzle, sometimes heavy but never really stopping.  Summer has ended and it feels as if the grey clouds above are sitting on my shoulders.

I'm normally a fairly bouyant person, but today is getting to me.  I could be all British and blame it on the weather, and whilst I'm sure it has a part I don't think it's the whole reason.  It's ironic to be mourning the end of summer when autumn is my favourite season, but to me autumn is a time of new possibilities - activities that have been in abeyance start up again; we go on holiday in less than a month.

I could blame it on having to go clothes shopping today because I needed new work clothes.  But still, two pairs of black trousers from M&S Outlet shop can't be bad.  There's no point going all posh when I have to reach into cupboards to investigate leaking taps.

I think part of it is because there are things I'm supposed to be doing and which rely on other people doing their bit.  And they haven't.  Which means that I've got to sort it out.  Which makes me wonder if I want to do these things sufficiently to do the sorting out - one of them I'm not sure about - if I don't I'm the only one who misses out, which is okay.  The other one is the one that's got to me and I need to take a step back, because at the moment I can't do anything.  And if, in the next week or so, I make a point of how dissatisfied I am with the situation then I need to be prepared to say how committed I can be.

Right, rambling to you lot has helped clear my brain, so I'm off to eat chocolate cake and drink wine.  Until tomorrow.
