Since When Can’t Humans Walk In The Rain?

So what if it’s pouring rain.

So sick of all my excuses. I was finally going to start going for walks. Then I looked at the weather and saw it was going to be a cold, rainy day.

For a second I thought oh well I guess I won’t be going for a walk today. I started imagining my afternoon binge-watching something while I munched on snacks.

Then I remembered who I was and I said since when is the rain going to stop you, Bev? Miss Chicago girl. Miss badass. Since when are you a pussy? Afraid of a little rain are you? Why? Because you live in Wisconsin now? You love the rain! It’s exciting. It makes you feel alive, remember?

So I drove to the beach and parked my car in a back corner, unnoticed. I don’t want them to be scared of the crazy lady about to go for a walk along the beach.

And I did it! I only walked about 20 minutes, so maybe a mile, and I’m soaking wet. And you know what? I freaking loved it!

I’m going to go home and fill my tub with hot water, turn the bedroom TV to an angle facing the hallway, and then I’ll open the bathroom door with the mirror just right and get to catch whatever is on tv, in the bathtub, relax and embrace my achievement. It’s how I spoil myself, shut up.

At least I won’t feel as guilty. I walked a mile in the rain like people have done for thousands of years. Big whoop. 😂

I’m glad it was raining. I had the beach walkway to myself. And I remembered who I was.

I’m Bev, a badass from Chicago who’s not afraid of a little rain.
