Simply put, it is freaking cold~still. And there is more snow. I know, I know, it is winter and it is what happens in winter. E-X-C-E-P-T this is the snowiest in many, many years. Plus we've broken temperature (sub zero actual and windchill) records. If feels like it has been going on forever with no end in sight.
I am not ashamed to admit that I haven't done well with the conditions this winter. Never my favorite season, I had here-to-fore been able to tolerate the snow and the cold. Not this season. It is more than the record breaking, sub zero temps and biting wind chills. More than it being the snowiest season in many, many years. More than the extraordinary rudeness of property owners who haven't been clearing their walkways.
I have spent a number of minutes throughout a number of days being annoyed. And tired. And sore.
And . . more.
On the plus side, I haven't fallen down very much this season.
And now it is March. True, it snowed yesterday and it barely made it out of the teens today and there is more of the same on the way for the coming week.
But, it is March. There are changes afoot for me. Not because it is March, but changes are a'comin'. It just works out that the changes are beginning in March. It is March and hopefully that means winter will give way to spring because it is March.
Simply put, I'm ready for it not to be so freaking cold. But, even if it is for many more days to come the changes that are coming will make it feel not quite so.
Welcome Women's History Month and here, here to some happy in March.
I who love winter am getting tried of it too. Mostly because it has been just too damn cold to go out and enjoy all the beautiful snow we've had. What's the point of snow if you can't go out and play?
ReplyDeleteBut you are right. It is March and we are definitely headed in the right direction weather wise. Well, at least the days are getting longer.
I hope all your changes are changes for the good.
I guess playing would make it . . . better. Some of the changes I think, will be good. The others, are for now, just changes which may turn out for the best. oxo
DeleteI keep shaking my head at the weather reports from points east. When is it going to stop? I have refrained from blogging about it because, all my favorite bloggers are suffering and I don't want to be insensitive about our mild weather. Just know that I feel for you all! Come to Portland! It's wet, yes, but it is rarely snowy and rarely below freezing.
ReplyDeleteHere's to the changes ~ they are indeed a coming!
When? Indeed. Every day there seems to be a new snowfall record, a new frozen or below zero record set or broken. Ahh Portland, YES Please.
DeleteAlso, is that a picture of you up there? Super cute kid being interviewed by whom? What's the story? :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, that is a very much younger me. Story, next post. :-)
DeleteYay Happy March! Im with you- I am so over this cold weather. I think the ground hog saw its shadow which means winter forever. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL No, not forever...hopefully. Just too fracking long.
DeleteHoping for an extraordinary happy in March! Good news on the not falling.
ReplyDeleteYes, the not falling is indeed good news. No new pains, thank you. :-)
DeleteCool pic. I want the details too. What e said.
ReplyDeleteI've had such a rough year, this long, long, long, never-ending winter has felt like, of course. Can't even get one tiny shred of kindness from Mother Nature. I'm so over it.
Glad changes are coming for you and I hope they are good ones.
Thank you. I found the photo among my mom's things and had to think about the back story~~which I now remember (mostly).
DeleteMy ♥ is with you Em, all of us.
Good or no, I shall endeavor to make the best of what future days hold.
