Creative Writing Prompts #49: What do you do on a rainy day.

Everybody hates when it is raining outside.  It just puts out this gloomy depressing feeling.  Usually what happens to is that all of the things that you put off doing before, you tell yourself you are going to do that day but it ends up raining.  At least that is what always happens to me.  I tell myself all of the time that I want to break out my golf clubs and go play a round of golf but I usually don't feel like going on the days when it is nice out.  I will go to sleep and say tomorrow i'm going and get all of my stuff ready, only to wake up to the sound of rain against my bedroom window.  But there are still lots of things one could do when you can't do anything outside.

The one thing I love to do when it is raining is sleep.  The fact that even though it is the middle of the afternoon and it is still dark always seems to make me tired.  Plus my hours in which I work are so crazy I don't get much sleep during the week anyhow.  So it is nice to catch up on it.  Another thing I like about the rain is that it gives me a chance to catch up on, or get a head start on homework assignments for school because my mind pretty much says "well you might as well get started, not much else you can do today."  The only downfall I had to that was that one day during a thunderstorm I was writing a paper for my one class.  It was not due for a while but I decided I just wanted to start it but ended up doing the whole thing.  Well as I was nearing the end of it, the power went out and my paper went along with it.  I ended up having to do the whole thing over again.  But as luck would have it, I usually don;t get to do these things on a rainy day because I always seem to end up working when it does.  I tell you , as a police officer, there is nothing like standing in the freezing thunderstorm trying to deal with accidents or other incidents.
