On Vox: Winter = Gone
Today was so absolutely gorgeous it made me feel sick! I parked an extra block away from school so that I could take a few extra steps in my day and also enjoy the sunshine on my face. I sat with my mentor in a coffee shop by the window so that I could feel a sunbeam on my back. I was late for church because I sat outside reading too long and listening to opera because it was too nice to be inside.
As I meandered up the stairs to my bedroom, I noticed that my thermostat was at 77 and THAT my readers, is the tragedy. It's February! FREAKING FEBRUARY!! My birthmonth I might add. And it's supposed to be cold and blustery with a hint...*hint* of spring to come. Not so in the California valley.
Every year I wish it to rain on my birthday and I only remember that happening twice. In my later years I'd just wish for cold weather or beautiful dark clouds rolling by, but that is a rarity as well.
It's not that I didn't enjoy the weather today or bask in it's sunny glory, but I feel like it was just a month ago that it finally got cold and now I'm already having to gear up for a dreadful summer. Just as winter has come and gone insanely fast, so will spring be gone in a nano second. It's just not fair!
"You say that so often. I wonder what your basis for comparison is."
I've been feeling on edge lately...like something is going to happen or I need to get out of town for a bit. That's the one downside to taking a fun class at school. It limits your days off to go out of town should you choose when you have a teacher who looks at your attendance as your grade. I wouldn't give up this ballet class for an extra day of vacation. It's just too much fun! Plus I got my calf muscles back after years of nothing so...you know. Not quitting.
This sporadic entry was brought to you by the letters N. E. D. S. L P. With these words you could make the words NEED SLEEP. Thank you.
