How To Spend A Rainy Day

We've had more than our usual number of rainy days this year, and a number of people I know have had enough.  In a normal year, we get four or five days a year that actually require you to stay indoors.  This year, we've had four or five days in a row, and we Southern Californians, who spend so much time outdoors, don't know what to do.  Well, I've got some suggestions:

1.  Binge watch your favorite Netflix or Amazon shows.
2.  Read a book
3.  Do a puzzle.  Once you get started, you could spend hours on a puzzle.
4.  Clean your desk, closet or dresser.  You'll feel great when you're done.
5.  Clean your kitchen pantry or tackle the refrigerator and freezer.
6.  Turn on some music, make a nice cup of hot chocolate or cider, and just relax.
7.  Take a bath, give yourself a manicure, pamper yourself.
8.  Call (not text or e-mail) some people you've been meaning to contact.
9.  Take a long nap
10.  Cook.  I love to make soup on a rainy day (from scratch)and have some for a couple of days.
11.  Be happy you don't live in Chicago or Minnesota and stop complaining about a few days of rain.  We've got the greatest climate in the country, so just enjoy a few days of rain, and think about how beautiful our gardens will look in the spring.

Dog owners, sorry, but your four legged ones will have to stay in for a few days.  I hate that part of the rain, but it's a small price to pay, considering the benefits of rain.
