Rain over the weekend. Not for the first or last time. Instead of hanging our noses because we won't be going hiking or biking, we can be combinative and with a smile /sincere/ rearrange our intentions for the two days off. Many things can be done, including sleeping in. But if you're not a fan of lounging until noon, here are some suggestions:
In Art Veritas
Visit a bookstore, a reading room, a gallery, a new museum. Bad weather is better for this than sunny. And you might go shopping. Or to a nice restaurant. Or a movie. Whichever enclosed space brings you pleasure, you're more likely to encounter fewer crowds in the rainy weather, and you'll get peace and a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
A beautiful umbrella
Or rubber boots. Or a raincoat. After all, every new and beautiful item brings pleasure. Buy bright waterproof clothes and shoes and jump in the puddles with the kids. It might bring you joy, it might not, but at least you'll have tried it and you'll be able to show it off on Instagram.
New music
Updating your playlist is the quickest and surest way to a more enjoyable start to the new week. New music = new emotions. Always. An ideal way to avoid counting tiles on the sidewalk as your only entertainment while you go to work.
Spring cleaning
Rain is the perfect time to "lay down your rags". Spring cleaning can amount to Chinese torture if you do it on a sunny day. So grab your rubber gloves and get started. Just leave the windows for sunnier days :)
