Been listening to the radio go on and on about how cold this February has been for us here in our region.
Like we did not already know that.
This February is a throwback to when we were kids and it was cold – bitter cold all month. I don’t like it.
I like winter – I really do – I love the clean air but I have to admit – like many of my fellow humankind – this February is really starting to grind on me!
The air hurts my face – I don’t want the air to hurt my face. I love it when my eyelashes stick together and I have constant snot bubbles. My nose is raw from blowing it and don’t even get me started on my hands!!! I have old lady dry hands like I have been a washer woman my whole life and no amount of Aveeno is going to cure that.
My hair – I totally give up. I should own friggin’ stock in static guard – poor cats get zapped every time I pet them.
Feet are always cold – the cost of heating is through the roof and I am feeling trapped indoors and long to sit in the sun and watch Charles and Alicia fly about.
I’m burning through so much gas because I have to start my car 20 minutes before I leave so when I get in and sit down it’s not like sitting on a concrete slab. Frozen pipes – deathsicles – shovelling snow – picking snowballs out of horses feet – blankets on – blankets off- frozen poop ball marble ankle twisters – I could go on.
I’m sick of it – sick sick sick of it.
Radio people – SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP – we know it’s cold – stop reminding us!!!
And now that I have that out of my system – I will stop whining. Such first world problems.
We have established that February – this one any way sucks –
Take heeds friends – daylight savings time is a mere 10 days away more or less – and spring is just 24 more days.
We can survive – we are tough – we are CANADIAN!!!
