日记

It was said to be raining cats and dogs today. But it wasn't like that in my place.  I assume it might because quite a lot of people didn't go to work that the traffic was really way lighter today. The greatest experience of a rainy day would be a sound sleep. I am gonna fully enjoy that today.
