For those of us who are still working from home, isn't it glorious to wake up to thunder and lightning in the comfort of your duvet? Amidst the relentless heavy rain this morning, I woke up with a smile on my face to cool temperature, lazed in my bed for a while and still managed to fire up the computer in time for work.
But for those who are required to brave the rain to get to the office, not so much. Is it me or have you also noticed that when it rains, it pours? According to a report by the NEA, the cold rainy weather is here to stay, at least until the end of the month. Doesn't it feel like Mother Nature is undergoing a cleansing of sorts, helping us wash away the old and in with the new.
Do I hear cheers and claps for those of you who are so ready to break out your down jackets reserved for travel that have been relegated to the depths of your cupboards? Yes, it's finally time to put them to good use again, for now.
