If I’ve told you this one before, stop me.

Haha, you can’t. No one can stop me. Ever.

I was never a huge fan of the band Garbage until I found out the lead singer, Shirley Manson, wrote the song I’m Only Happy When it Rains to mock the Seattle grunge scene bands of the 90s who were always whining. Apparently they were never happy unless they had something to be sad about. Now I love her and that song.

You tell ‘em Shirley, you Scottish bad ass.

I have a feeling if she ever ran into Sean Connery in her homeland, she would’ve slapped HIM in the face for saying he thought it was a-ok to slap a woman if she got crazy. Look it up, it’s true.

Side note: Lol loved Sean Connery so ever since I found out this tidbit of info about 2 decades ago, I’d call him “the wife beater” and she’d get so mad 😂

Do you have someone like that in your life? Not a wife beater, but a whiny person who is never happy unless they have something to be sad about.

I’d imagine it’s draining. Always having to boost them up, only to have them find a new way to knock down the positivity because they love to wallow in self-pity.

At least in Manson’s scenario those whiners gave us the best music of all time.

If you do find that you’re that person, you may be clinically depressed – so please get help. Counseling and anti-depressants are a wonderful thing.

But if that’s just your personality, you need to check yourself. The people around you may be too nice to tell you that you’re a life suck.

Anyway, that wasn’t the original intent of this blog. I woke up for my normal 3am routine of going to the bathroom, checking on my kids, and obsessing over who pissed me off that day.

I really need to stop doing this. Not the bathroom or kids part – the obsessing over people who piss me off. I downloaded a meditation app; hopefully that will curb my Beatrix Kiddo kill mentality. I have to learn to be more like Elsa and let that shit go.

Anyway, when I woke up and heard it raining my heart soared. That’s what this blog entry was supposed to be about.

For most people rain is a bummer. Not me! There’s not much more I love than when it’s raining. The perfect excuse to stay in and get snuggy in my cozy socks and sweatpants. I mean, I do that everyday regardless, but the rain perfects that hygge feeling ❤️

I also just downloaded a rain sounds playlist. I never thought fake rain would have any effect (affect? Which one? I never know) on me but it did. I got chills like I was actually standing in a rainstorm. Try it with headphones on, you’ll see.

When I discover that other people like when it rains, I know I found my people. So far there’s like two 😂 Are we weird or are there others like us out there?

Oh boo. The rain stopped ☹️ But have no fear, I checked the weather and it’s supposed to rain all day WITH thunderstorms!!!

I’m so happy!!!! 😊😊😊😊
