life skills

dashing in the rain....in a one horse open....

wait. it should be dashing in the snow isn't it?

haha but yes, it was deliberate.

have been running in and out lately, so busy. not just with work but also meeting friends. and with the constant (3-4 hour) rain, i have no choice but to dash in and out of the rain.

carrying an umbrella is out of the question.

1- it doesn't match my clothes
2- where to put a wet umbrella??
3- will i remember the umbrella after a 5-hour chat with friend? very unlikely

so rather than keep leaving umbrellas all over town, i have no choice but to dash.

but then again, not only do i get my clothes, hair and body wet, the worst thing is the heels. ESPECIALLY if i'm wearing open-toed heels (and i don't wear anything but heels). it's just yucks.

i can't run. i can't skip (heels ok? slippery) so i have to walk. but wait, i dash, not walk. so i have to look out for cars and puddles while trying not to slip at the same time.

it sure takes skills. this must be what they call 'life skills'.
