Rain, rain, go away

I am usually a fan of rain. But for some reason, when your nose is all stuffed up and your throat aches and your head hurts, rain isn't fun anymore. Therefore, I politely request that the rain go away until I can breathe again. So that I can use my new umbrella instead of staring outside thinking that I'm going to myself sicker if I go out there. And coincidentally, as I predicted, I was out and about last night without my umbrella during the rain. Granted, I was riding in the car most of the time, so I probably couldn't have used it anyway, but it would have been comforting to know it was there. In all its new, pristine, chic glory.
