Today…is ground hog day…
To steal a line from the movie…”this is pitiful. A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat”.
Well – dear friends – I know exactly when winter will end – do you want to know?? Of course you do – winter will end – WHEN IT ENDS!!!
On the plus side – I did not need to go a huntin’ me a ground hog today because apparently we will have an early spring.
Spring will come when it gets here.
Can’t predict/control the weather – YET – bwahahahaha – working on it though.
So – February breeds ground hog day.
February – my least favourite month – the only redeeming quality that February has is that it is the birth month of my beautiful daughter. That will be this coming Wednesday and that will be a post of it’s own.
I just came back in from feeding the masses. What a beautiful night. The wind has finally died down and the moon was so bright I did not even need my trusty flash light.
I sat for a bit – as I often do. Once they have their hay – they settle and we can have a chat.
We chat about their day – or really the listen to me bitch about my day.
My days lately – uugghhh – let’s just say that I am not enjoying my job as much as I used to and I hope for that feeling to change soon.
BUT – at the end of my day – weather be damned – I get to come home and trudge through knee deep snow to take care of my cherished creatures. It could be waste deep – I don’t care.
My treasured creatures are my motivation. They ask so little – they give so much.
I wonder if they know that they could be charging me $150/hour for the therapy they provide? They love to paid in hay and carrots and scratchies.
I have made it a goal to cook more healthy meal. Winter – because of timing typically sees us eating frozen pizza with salad. It’s quick and easy. Everyone would be so proud of me – I actually cooked 7 whole real meals in a row last week that included vegetables, protein and creativity. No frozen pizzas and no store bought salads. Real home cooking.
Look at me – I am babbling tonight. I must be tired.
Thanks for listening. I do appreciate each and everyone of you who actually reads this.
We all struggle with this stupid winter blah feeling and it’s nice to know that I am not alone.
Feel free to comment or send topics for entries- I would be more than happy to share your story!!!
