It is pouring down here!! I’m at work about to have my lunch and then have my Financial Accounting lecture at 3pm this afternoon. I am very tempted to skip it because I’m going to get drenched running to my class!
But I know that is not a legitimate excuse just to skip class. So I’ll end up going and getting drenched and cold.
I have decided now that I’d rather have a trench-coat style coat. There’s no need for a thick woollen coat here where I live in New Zealand as it doesn’t get that cold, (8-10*C in the middle of Winter), it just rains all the time. So now I’m on the hunt for something similar to these:

That way I can wear warm clothing underneath and just throw it on over top to keep me dry. Good plan I feel.

Oh. My. God. It just got better. Just heard the weather report on the radio: we’re in for thunder storms this afternoon and the rain is here for the rest of the week at least! Geez! I need that coat asap.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Air Purifiers are a wonderful investment, especially if you have family members with allergies. I haven’t purchased one personally but know of a few families that have and whom rave about them.
If you’re interested in a HEPA air purifier this website has information on a few models. It gives the details of what square-metre area they could purify and their costs.
