Smothered by Clouds

For a month we have had no sun.  Finally this morning I could see the sun's outline from behind a shroud of clouds, but it quickly went away, awaiting the fulfillment of another rainy forecast.  I feel claustrophobic, and the clouds are closing in on me.  I want to scream.

I watch CNN International, and in the weather forecast they show rain where I live, and they sound euphoric, saying that it will finally break China's drought.  They are so clueless.  The rain is not falling where the drought exists.  The rain is falling on soaked ground where it has been raining for months on end, almost all day every day.  I'm gonna start collecting animals and look up plans for building an ark.  I can't stand it.  The clouds must have heard this is a tourist destination and decided to take a month's vacation here.  I wish God would revoke their tourist visa.  Trust me, I've asked him.

I love the light.  Living in a shroud of darkness and clouds is the pits.
