On a rainy day, I have found myself in the throws of a full-fledged lazy mode. I have been absolutely done and undone. It’s something about the rain that makes me want to lie down and just watch television.

Because if I don’t have any around the apartment I damn near blow a gasket. Although, within about ten minutes, I get over it and realize that some chocolate from some corner in the world will find its way to me when the Universe feels the time is right. See what I’m saying.
