In defense of winter
Every year, right around the first so unbelievably dreary day where it's not warm but it's certainly not cold and it's gray and rainy, I am reminded that I think people are freaking nuts for loving spring.
Spring sucks.
Spring is rainy and muddy and the sun doesn't come out for approximately 83 days. Spring makes me want to curl up in bed and wake up in June. My hands hurt. I have 80-year-old man knees that only hurt in March and April. Because all it does is rain. And change barometric pressure. And I have to practically overdose on Claritin to breathe.
AND WE LOSE AN HOUR OF SLEEP.
So seriously, on behalf of crisp, sunny, clean white winter days, I say BLOW ME to days like this.
I'm playing my bass guitar anyway, dammit. I have leftover Vicodin from last year. It'll get me through. (And by "leftover" I mean "an entire prescription because I don't take drugs" but still. Today might push me over the edge.)
I know I don't write enough to do a drive by complaint but the next person who smiles joyfully and says, "It's nearly spring!" is going to get a dirty snowball thrown at them. :-D Which I will inevitably overthrow by 30 yards.
Baseball. 26 days. Just gotta hang on....
