Rainy Days in Idaho

So the VP of BYU-Idaho mentioned the "deceptively nice weather" when school first started. And now I know what he means. Woke up this morning to rain, and my first thought was "Oh no! I didn't put the poncho on the bike!" So that was soaked, but I just put a shopping bag on the seat and rode slower than usual, because I didn't want to get mud splatters up my back.

Is it just me, or is everyone sorta dumber when it rains? I was biking up to campus (like I do) and people just kept being in my way. And some of them have head phones, so I can't say "excuse me" and get by. I have to arrange a whole tactical insertion. Ridiculous.

Spent a long while in the bookstore, because I didn't want to go home and lose my "I'm at school" vibe that gets me through the school day. But now the weather is starting to clear up, and I wanted to go enjoy rooibos while it was still rainy. Oh well, I'm sure there will be other rainy days.

I don't know that my anxiety has gone away, but the peppermint helps keep the stomach pain away, and it sorta came back yesterday, I think because I hadn't had any for a while. That stuff has been saving my sanity, for sure.

So I broke down and got something frivolous. Well, two things, but they weren't expensive at all.


I didn't even know they made these, but at home, every time I get chocolate I always give it to Tyler. So this one is all mine.

These feel like they're bigger than the ones in the boxes at the store. Either way, I'm excited for chocolate!
