Do you suffer from feelings of sadness or anger? Do you have difficulty getting out of bed in the morning? Are your activities more limited than they have been previously?
Are the bottom of your pants constantly wet? Do you slip and slide through every building you walk into? Is your doormat disgustingly muddy? Your hair perpetually frizzy?
You may be suffering from Seasonal Affectation Disorder. Seasonal Affectation Disorder can affect individuals of all ages and can lead to more serious issues such as murder, suicide or road rage culminating in personal property damage. Ask your doctor about possible treatments.
You guys, seriously. It has been raining about 80% of the time here for over 3 weeks now. I think I’ve seen the sun, full out, once in that time. It is no coincidence that the acronym for this weather-related melancholy is S.A.D.
For me, though, it’s more angry than sad. I’m starting to feel quite stabby. 40 mph on a 65 mph highway to avoid sliding off the road makes me want to buy a shotgun. And you know what people? It’s been raining for 3 weeks straight…perhaps it’s time some of you learned to drive in it. And for the love of Jebus, TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON.
And then there’s the kickball problem. I signed up for 2 nights a week at $65 a league. That’s $130 I paid and I have played 1 of 8 games that have been scheduled. And since I’m pretty broke at the moment, it would be nice to get to participate in some already-paid-for fun. I drove by the Tuesday night field this morning? Completely underwater.
So if any of you are in tighter with God than I apparently am (as I have been begging for relief for some time now), if you could request a hiatus on all this precipitation, I would be grateful. Kiss you on the lips grateful. Cause if I don’t see me some sun here pretty soon, I’m gonna lose it. Brake real hard so that giant truck with no lights on riding my ass in pouring rain slams into me and totals my car and has to replace it lose it.

My mother literally has a UV sun lamp that beams down on her at home… she says it works wonders. Just a thought!
I too have a really bad case of SAD. You’d think after it raining so much people would actually learn how to drive in the rain… Not so much.
I’ll put the seminary students on constant prayer vigils for sun. Seriously, rain is such a downer!
I don’t usually mind rain, but it’s keeping all my crazy ass coworkers in the office. So if you feel the need to stab someone, please call. I’ll help. Hell, I’ll bring the knife. I got some really good ones from my mom for my birthday a few years ago.
seriously. whoever came up with S.A.D. is an ass. i guess somewhat clever, but it just adds insult to injury.
This would probably be a really bad time to tell you that the forecast in this area for the weekend is rain… but you’ll get to see meeeeee, and I promise to bring some sunshine to the picture. :)
