Rainy Days...
Chicago has only had 15 days of full sunshine since January. What is up with this? It's June 11, and outside it looks and feels like November. These dark skies make me almost want to slit my wrists. On top of this, there is that lovely recession everyone is talking about. This is how my average day begins. NPR blasts me up at 6:30am. There is news of some major car company or bank laying off a few thousand people. I stick my head under the covers because the sky is dark and I almost think it is still nighttime. My cat is either purring or biting me, depending on his mood.
