Wet, wet, WET

"The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So we sat in the house all that cold, cold wet day..."
The Cat in the Hat, Dr. Seuss

I can't help but channel Dr. Seuss. For the past three days, it has been cloudy and raining constantly. The temperature hovered constantly around 70 degrees, so there was no difference (or break!) between day and night.

I've felt like we've been living in a steam room. Everything in the house has absorbed the sticky humidity and feels wet to the touch. Towels haven't dried, glasses are sweating all over the tables and counters.

Now that the remnants of Hurricane Ike have drenched us after all the moisture we already had, I think it may be almost over. I wouldn't mind seeing the sun (and wearing dry clothes!).
