I'm sorry, but it's like 40-something degrees outside..

I realize that other parts of the U.S. were really, really, really cold this week and last, but I'm a wimp. I live in this part of the country because anything below 50 degrees feels like sub-zero. When it gets that cold, I don't want to get out of bed, don't want to go to school, don't want to shower in the COLD wet water.

For the first few weeks of school the days were mostly in the 40's - ie, cold as hell. (Yeah, I said that on purpose - I have a weird sense of humor. My construct of hell is cold.) PLUS, it was rainy. Ugh.

Then! Yesterday the sun came out and guess what? I basked in 74 degree weather. I was so happy, so uplifted, so renewed with life!

And then today...we are back in the 40's again.

I saw a poster washed to the window of an abandoned building today. There was a drawing of a razor blade and the stenciled words 'give up'. I understand the sentiment. Where is my freaking warm weather already? I mean, it's February for crying out loud.

PS - Eastern Seaboard and Chi-town area readers - Don't even think about commenting that you've got it worse than I do. You chose to live in that part of the country. I wanted sunshine and hot rays and I gladly took the mass pollution, Republicans, bible-beaters, SUV's, and teaching of intelligent design in schools so that I could be warm. AND I'M NOT! AND I FEEL RIPPED OFF!!
