When I got back from Italy, the weather wasn't exactly as I had hoped. I was expecting to return to a semi-spring version of the weather. Instead it was misty and the sky was grey. And it was the next day too. When I looked at the weather forecast, it was anticipating rain for the next 7 days. Really?
Last time it rained for a long time, I was miserable. My feet were always wet, which always made me cold. I remembered being miserable at school, never being warm, and feeling sick all the time. So, I decided that even though I'm broke, this is a good time to buy rain boots. I went the day before it was supposed to rain and bought some boots. They are shiny and black.
I've never had rain boots before, at least ones I can remember, but I thought it would be a good investment since I walk everywhere. The only rain boots I can remember were the ones I borrowed from my brother. I remember wading the the creeks and thinking how cool it was that my feet weren't wet. I could feel the water, but I was dry.
I went to school yesterday with my boots on. My teacher, Isa, noticed my boots and told me they were a good idea.
One day I wore non-waterproof shoes when it was pouring down rain and spent the day in misery with completely wet shoes and socks. It was horrible. She told me yesterday that she smiled when she saw people stepping around puddles and worrying about the water, as she walked comfortably in here boots to where ever she was going. I love this. That is what I do. I walk down the middle of the street where the water runs...just because I can. These things are wonderful.
