@Deborah: I can relate to lighthearted complaining to blow off steam; it can be therapeutic in the right doses with the right people, especially effective if mixed with humor. It's possible I misread the tone of your post, but you were sounding kinda serious there. Some of the responses appear to be written with the intent of helping you see the bright side of the situation. But it seems to have had the opposite effect. My apologies if my response offended you.
I can relate to your feelings about the rain, in that we are bound by a common desire for the sun to shine.
As you observed, it is hard to know what is behind our posted words without hearing or seeing each other.
Yes I have had it with the rain for now. But I am actually a lover of rain and everything it brings. I wouldn't have lived in western WA happily for 35 years if I was not a rain lover.
I love living Puna. Rain and SUN[
