Think...you are fortunate to have the summer off (at least it sounds like that's the case). Most don't have that option and, like me, desperately want the weekends to be nice so we can enjoy the limited seasonal time we have here.
I believe July 21 or thereabouts is the average warmest day of the year - 83 or 84. According to the Weather Channel, in July so far, we've had no days in the 90s, 3 in the 80s, 9 in the 70s, 3 in the 60s, and one in the 50s. Also, 12 of those days were (at least somewhat) rainy. I know only too well as I took July 1 - 11 off. We had five days with reasonable sun and another five were soakers. I would have aborted those days if I could have. Finally, to pile on, the forecast for the next two weeks is for all days to be in the mid-70s with one loner in the 80s.
Gloom, despair and agony on me
Deep dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all

Oh, I totally get it, but as an eternal optimist, I always seek the good. For example, my son had a fishing tournament yesterday (he came in first!), and it was up to me to bring him because dear wife was sick.
Bringing him means waiting around for the 8.5 hours, butttt it was at Moore Dam in Littleton, so I hit Polly's Pancakes, stopped by the iron furnace, got a couple hours of hiking in at Artist's Bluff/Bald Peak, drove some Franconia/Littleton back roads, walked a covered bridge and sat by a river, had lunch and a nap under a sheltered picnic table at the Littleton welcome area, read a bit, spent time chatting with an 89-year-old lifetime resident of "the hills," saw my son's first winning weigh-in, grabbed some candy at the longest candy counter in the world and a pizza next door, came home and had some celebratory cupcakes.
Yesterday was my birthday, and I spent it mostly alone on a cool, rainy day in New Hampshire...and it was MAGNIFICENT. Perspective matters.
I hope you feel better, friend, and that we get some warm weather soon for all of our sakes!
