Rain rain, go away, come again another day, little Rukkie wants to…
This is the song that comes to mind whenever it rains during workdays for me. As much as I love rain and the cool atmosphere that comes after it. I really don't like it when it rains during workdays. It's a bit fair if the rain is mild but those heavy downpour is a no-no for me.
My work doesn't give me the liberty to take a “rain check”, which means no matter how heavy the rain turns out to be, I would still have to go to work and whenever it rains in the morning before I leave home for work, I immediately know that I would have to make adjustments to my dressing. It doesn't even help after I am fully dressed because I would have to remove my shoes, keep them in my bag and wear my flip flops instead, I would also have to wear my ”nylon raincoat” since Umbrellas are not always enough to withstand some heavy rains.
Another thing I don't like about heavy rain during workdays is the fact that transportation isn't always easy to find and when you do manage to find one, the bus fare would increase. I see this as a means of extortion by some of these bus drivers because they always knew people would have no choice but to pay the extra rather than to keep on waiting at the bus-stop and getting drenched by the rain.
Do I even want to mention some of the streets where there is no proper drainage system? Especially places that have no alternative routes. Most times, putting my legs into the black, dirty, flooded water as I try to pass through to work really irks me but then I would have no choice because I need to get to work.
Sometimes, early morning rain during workdays do make me feel disorganized especially when it's a heavy rain because it would mean I would get to work late due to the fact that I was waiting for it out for some time and also getting a bus to transport me to work and all that. So when I do finally get to work, it makes that day's work a bit dull for me.
But do I Hate It When It Rains?
Not entirely. I love it when it rains at night because the cold weather helps me sleep soundly. I love it when it rains on weekends when I am at home. That's the time I love rain the most because I barely have to go out.
Staying indoors, just cooking, eating, sleeping, watching movies, reading while sipping on a hot cup of coffee while the rain pours down makes the weekend more enjoyable for me.
If I had the powers to choose the time and days it should rain, I would go for nights for weekends and ”anytime” during weekends.
Some people work on weekends or have one or two events to attend so they might not like it raining on weekends but for me, I think I love rain only when I would be able to enjoy it in the comforts of my home.

When it rains on workdays, I immediately feel down because the rain would cause an obstruction to the flow of my daily routine plus the cold weather to top it all. I'm allergic to cold so if rain wants to fall, I prefer it falling at night when I'm asleep. It is so much fun to wake and be greeted by puddles of water around the compound. I like that one better than being drenched in the rain.
When we were very young we very much love playing in the rain but now we have realized that getting drenched by the rain isn't as fun as it used to be.
Thank you for stopping by.
Exactly. You're welcome

It's not ideal indeed when it rains heavily and you have to commute to work. Maybe a long pair of rainboots would be better to wear instead of flip-flops so your feet won't get soaked in the dirty floodwater :)
And it's saddening that some bus drivers take advantage of the rain to increase the fares. Not cool at all.
Yes I think getting rain boots would be better. Thank you for the suggestion.
It's rare to see drivers that won't charge more when it rains. It's really not cool at all.
Thank you so much for reading.
It does sound like a hardship if it downpours during your workdays. Sorry for that.....
I also love to hear it rain at night. You do sleep better because of the sound and the temperatures plus it is very conducive to enjoying hot coffee and reading a book. All very soothing!
Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day!
Yes, it's so much better when it rains at night.
I appreciate your coming around. Thank you.

I think if most of us can shift rain to fall only at night, we will; that way, we all get to enjoy the cool temperatures it brings without being beaten by the rain or the rain disturbing our daily activities.

Yes that's so true. If only we have the power.
