I know I can’t complain because this winter it has been 40 degrees or above pretty much everyday and we’re already halfway through February. Normally at this time of year I’ve already taken a few days off for snow and I dread getting in the car every morning because of all the ice I need to scrape. I hate cold weather and snow and ice so this is my kind of winter. Its 47 degrees right now and I’m wearing a light weight shirt and no shoes while sitting at my desk. Global Warming is insane.
You would think that I would be so happy right now but I’m not. I hate the winter for so many other reasons. I hate that it gets dark early, I keep getting sick, my office is freezing, I have to wear a coat, I can’t wear flip flops, my skin is dry (but my hair isn’t frizzy so it’s a toss up really), I can’t lay on the beach…I could go on but what it really adds up to is that I get depressed during the winter. I just want to stay in bed and stay warm and watch crappy TV. That of course is not healthy so I try my best to put on a smile and act happy. Sometimes it works.
This morning I felt like something had changed. It’s not sunny out today but it is warm and it was already 40 when we got in the car. As I walked around the car I realized that it smelled like spring. Everything was wet and I could hear birds singing. I got excited as if we may actually make it to spring without a real snow storm. Then again I could be surprised and have snow on my birthday – in June.
