It's Raining! Again...

It's rained for 5 days. Do you know how long 5 days of bad weather in San Diego is? It's an eternity for us sun worshipers. I pay a premium for everything for the joy of living somewhere that doesn't have seasons or weather. It's sunny and 75, that's all the weatherman knows, so actual weather confuses us. Wind, trees falling, flights cancelled, mudslides... even the dogs are confused. They go running outside to go potty and find themselves in the middle of a bog since there is no drainage in a city that never has rain. They get confused and scared, come back inside and pee on the rug! Ugh.

I know the rain the rain is good but it makes me lethargic. Just ask my boss. I keep calling him and forgetting what I'm calling him for. Oops. If it doesn't stop soon I may become one of THEM!

The rain has made us all in dreary spirits, and Lulu and I are starting to wonder about our futures. Will we get into the programs we applied for? What happens if we don't? Lulu has it worse than me since I only want security for what will come in 5-10 years, whereas she is starting out in life and has pivotal choices to make. The forever WHAT IF question seems to hang over us a bit lower every day, but we are doing good at ignoring it for the time being. Six more weeks and we'll have some answers, but honestly, that will just lead to the big question: What now?

Lala: "Can I help you?"
Stupid Nurse: "My patient needs an appetite stimulant."
Lala: "Why?"
Stupid Nurse: "Because she's losing weight. She's lost 17 pounds in one month!"
Lala: OK, may be valid... "What is her current weight?"
Stupid Nurse: "She's down to 200 pounds!"
Lala: If she only had a brain. "Mmmm. OK, well, in this case maybe the weight loss is desired then? She's still not at a healthy weight so we don't want to encourage her to gain more weight."
Stupid Nurse: "But she's lost so much! Don't we need to do something?"
Lala: "Is she on a calorie restricted diet?"
Stupid Nurse: "Yes."
Lala: Wow, she truly have no idea what she's doing. "No new order."
Stupid Nurse: "But, but..."
Lala: "Lulu, psych eval on 1 please. Crazy nurse for you."

Seriously, when did my profession start letting all the dumdums in?
