You can't sue rain.

There's this myth that rain makes people sadder, slower, and sleeper. I've also heard people say that when their joints start to hurt, that that's a sign that a storm is coming. Maybe all this mystical mumbo jumbo is not false.

I know that when it is raining outside, I personally sleep a lot more [which isn't a bad thing] and tend to procrastinate to a different extent. For example, instead of reading the book for class, I play The Sims 3 instead. I personally think the reasoning behind this is for when I was a child, I used to stay home on a stormy day due to school cancellations. So, in my mind, I think that a rainy day is the day off, when this is never the case.
However, to other people, the rain is just a symbol of the coming day. Rain stimulates the plants and makes them grow. It cools the ground and hydrates the Earth.
It's also a cause of danger due to slippery roads and slippery sidewalks. Sorry guys, you can't sue Mother Nature.

Some people hate the rain because it's such a bother when you're out in it and need an umbrella. If the umbrella breaks, it's another burden because the person is getting wet. To others, rain is a blessing. They don't care if they get wet, and they walk around in the rain without an umbrella or a care in the world [I used to be like that]. Others accept the rain and accept the fact they do not have an umbrella nor can afford one.

As to the part where joint pain foresees the future, I'm not really sure about that. Sure, my family and I can foresee a huge storm when we're in pain, but that doesn't mean that everyone else could do the same. Most people will think it's the arthritis talking. Well I'm sorry to tell you, arthritis doesn't talk, it just hurts. Joint pain is different.

I'm not really sure how to end this blog. Just keep safe, dry [if you want to] and don't sue Mother Nature.
