rain rut

Can't get a VIA.

Stuck walking to and from the bus.

A cold, pelting rain slams into me.

I am chilled to the bone with my groceries held close to my chest.

My favorite raincoat is only water repellent, not waterproof. 

Good for a sprinkle, not for a downpour. 

My wet clothes cling to me.

My hands feel frozen.

I am tired, having walked almost 8 miles, lugging clothes all over.

Another $1,300 in returns get added to the $5,000 in returns from earlier this week.

I gross $43.92 today; that's $4.98 an hour. I made more as a high school baby-sitter.

Even sunny skies couldn't make this day much better.

If I could only find a better way...
