Happy Valentines Day Boys and Girls!
Okay... It's getting to me.
I love winter. Winter is pretty. Winter is cold and clean.
When I was a kid, our license plates boasted that Michigan was a winter wonderland.
I would have even loved this winter, I think... I THINK - if, it was winding down about now. But, since it isn't, and won't be for another few weeks, I find myself with a case of the "enough already" blues.
The upside? -since the first of the year I've had plenty of time to write and I've made use of that abundance fairly effectively, but ENOUGH.
Over the last two weeks, it's been so cold I haven't been able to work much, and I'm too damn young to find that fun for more than a day or two at a time. I get itchy!
I look out my window here to my left and see snow. Now, there are plenty of trees in the view and some pretty hills, and right now the sun is creeping up over the horizon and normally I'd find the vista pretty as any winter scene through a window could possibly be.
Today? I see snow. Period. And, I find myself in that weird place I get to this time of year, questioning my choice to remain in my home state when I could be anywhere in southern half of the U.S. avoiding "it."
And then, I'll see a story on the news and I start thinking about someone other than myself for two minutes, and it dawns on me how good I have it; the guilt grabs...
People being shot at or being blown up; people starving; people being persecuted; people dealing with REAL natural disasters...
And I'm bitching? What an ungrateful putz...
Man...
What a wimp.
Be good to everyone.

It will all be over before you know it.
Too bad there is not a remedy or pill for cabin fever.
