Cabin fever. I've caught it. So tired of cold bitter air every time I leave the house. Tired of having to warm up the car. Tired of high home-heating bills. Tired of having to wear layers of clothing. Tired of bundling up Ella V every time we have to go somewhere. Tired of being nervous that someone is going to hit us because they don't know how to drive in winter weather. Tired of all the nasty sickness bugs that have been going around for the last 4 months. Tired of constantly having to clean up the mud tracks in the entry left behind by our shoes. Tired of my car constantly being covered in salt. Tired of not being able to enjoy being outdoors.
I'm ready for warmer weather. I'm ready for the sun. I'm ready for longer days. I'm ready to finish the landscaping project we started last summer; to see the new trees and plantings bloom; to see our yard coverd in grass and not snow. I'm ready to take Ella V to the park every day. I'm ready for all the summer festivities that go on in our home town. I'm ready to be able to just walk out the door and go without having to do all the winter prep. I'm ready for lower home-heating bills. I'm ready to get rid of this cabin fever that I've had for the last couple of months.
Friends of ours had recently mentioned going on a cruise next spring. I was thinking how much I could use one right now. I know it would only provide a temporary cure to my cabin fever, but the warm weather, palm trees, white sandy beaches and good company would be perfect. Oh, bother...all I can do is reminisce of the last trip we took and patiently wait for warmer weather to arrive here. Maybe next winter won't be so bad. (um...sure it won't).
