I am house sitting now and it feels so good to sit on someone elses couch eating my usual oatmeal, listen to my new favorite music and enjoy the quiet. Feet up and no one is asking me questions. No one wants to know if I am going to be home for dinner tonight. No one needs to know how I am this morning. It’s just me. It’s kind of nice to be alone. Alone in a place when their are at least 100 people in the 100 feet radius.
I can’t say I am fantastically happy, but I am contented right now. Its hard to be happy with just yourself if you want more. But what if you allow yourself not to want more? Block it out. Then its easy to just let it go. And then you don’t need anything else.
You know, cold weather and I, we don’t get along.
See, when I asked mother nature originally to make it colder for a little bit so I could wear my new jacket (I love it, its green!), I meant cold - 25-30 degrees cold. I never ever approved of 5. Or even 10. This was not in the contract. And I asked for a little bit of snow; it looks so pretty. I am a little worried about that. Will she blow it out of proportion? A decent feet or two would be fine. But seven feet? Or do you think she is going to make it snow and then turn the air tempurature down so everyone slides on frozen ground to work, and then make it ice rain (that originally read “make it ice cream”) so you have to walk on top of ice to get to work? And then you walk into ice puddles that break and your socks get soaked? And you have wet feet for the day? Or, will she just make it really warm the next day, so it gets slushy and dirty and disgusting and we cannot walk around admiring the beautiful white colored trees and power covered lawns? Baa. She probably will do that.
Maybe I should have been clear. Min levels - 20 degrees, no ice rain, 3 feet of snow at once. Close the roads 2 days and then it melts and rains overnight to remove it all like it never happened. And then 24 degrees until March 24th and then spring. For the entire spring. And then we will discuss our summer contract. Ok? I am done. Thank you.
I think I just prefer it when the temperature is more agreeable and warm. I like agreeable. Don’t you? But I do like my new jacket. Oh to be so torn at a young age!
**This post did not take the greenhouse effect and global warming into consideration. It was meant to be solely a musing of my own nature. I’d prefer average winters and consistent weather in general, and do do what I can to preserve the environment. I am not an ice cap melter. I am pro polar bears (that are far far away).
