Winter Woes

Yuck not only was it cold today but it snowed way more then the weather man said it would but why should that surprise me? Are they ever right? There is a syndrome called SAD that people get in the winter months from lack of sunshine. It is treated by using sunlamps. I am sure those lights were turned on full blast today. It was a day that a good ten minutes in a tanning bed would have felt really nice. It is just too cold to make any unnecessary stops! I really do not like winter and the older I get the more I hate it.

Still no word on my car and no check either,but then there was no mail today. Hopefully the check will come tomorrow because if my car is done I don't know what I will do. Sure don't want the shop holding my car hostage. I am also anxiously awaiting the estimate on the damage to my rear bumper. If I can afford to get that fixed I will have to wait until it is nice outside so I can walk to work otherwise I will have to spring for a rental.

I was kind of lazy tonight did not do much more then eat some dinner and wash up my dirty dishes,which by the way only serves to dry my hands out more then they already are. Winter is tough on out bodies as well as our cars and the pocketbook paying for those higher heat bills. It is really hard for me to find much that I like about winter. I will admit that the snow can be beautiful and we have had some beautiful days where the sun shines and the trees glisten with frost but I still like the warm weather better. I don't remember hating winter when I was a kid in Southwest Minnesota. Maybe it is because when we are young we do not mind playing outside until our toes were numb and getting to stay home from school when the roads were too bad to travel. Maybe it is because we had so much fun sledding from the roof and down the hill into the woods. Oh to be young again!
