totally wasn't worth it.
The date or the thunderstorm?

I like pina coladas but don't like getting caught in the rain
I am not into yoga. I have half a brain....
come with me and escape
Unless you will melt or float, you gotta keep it moving.
OP, you live in Florida, when is there NOT random rain?
I'm on Vancouver Island and would homebound if I never went out in the rain.Ditto this except I live just north in British Columbia.
Do you like midnight?
If it's something like shopping, errands, or just going out on a rainy day, I would also prefer to stay home. Usually I like to cuddle up inside and read on grey days, but if it's a good thunderstorm it's nice to sit out on the porch.
However, we have a tendency to have tons of rain during every vacation so we have learned to make the most of that. We have gone hiking, to the beach, etc in the pouring rain.
One year we were at Disney for 12 straight days of record rainfall (after months of drought with absolutely no rain... our arrival day is when it began).
We purchased some nice ponchos that we now bring along on just about every trip we take. We are headed to visit my parents-- bringing our dogs and, of course, the forecast is rain all week-- so the ponchos are the first item I packed.
I had plans yesterday but it started raining and commen sens dictacts to me to stay home in the rain unless there is a good excuse to go out in it
We had that happen when we were there for Monsoon week in May 2009. Seven days of virtually non-stop rain. So. much. rain. It gave our family a whole new perspective of dealing with rain.
Yup, that was it.
I purposely didn't look at any weather before we left because I didn't want to stress myself out about something beyond my control. Besides, DH and I both grew up in FL, so we knew a forecast of rain usually just means a few minutes in the afternoon and it's done. When we arrived, saw how bad it was and watched the local news about flooding, tornadoes, etc, I just went into the hotel bathroom and cried for a few minutes so the kids wouldn't see how disappointed I was. Although we spent 12 days completely drenched from head to toe, we still had a wonderful time. The idea of trying to eat ice cream under ponchos and sitting in the rain for an hour and a half while Wishes was delayed and eventually cancelled sounds absolutely miserable, but it's actually one of our family's favorite memories.
