The other day when someone mentioned that I haven’t blogged
in a long time, along with instant guilt, I thought about the few months that
have passed since a post. But 8
months?? I never would have guessed. Yikes! I would love to tell you about the
wonderfully productive time and awe inspiring end results – but that would be
chock full of untruth. Fact is I cannot possibly account for the last 8 months.
Lots of sleeping, reading, googling of symptoms. Just the usual stuff.
Which brings us to March 5th, 2013.
Like most Canadians, I am just about at my winter breaking
point. Every new snowflake is like a dagger in my flip flops. I have always
made peace with winter. I would stop short of calling myself a fan, but I have
accepted its place in my life and I’m okay with it. That being said, winter
needs to end approximately one month before it actually does. I can tear up
watching the Weather Network as the plus temps get pushed further and further
back each day. By the way weather forecaster people – we’re on to that maneuver;
Promising temperatures Thursday, or is
it Friday…make that Saturday. It breaks my heart a little bit each time.
Adding to the mix is my 2 cats who are entirely convinced
that Spring has arrived and that they need to ask to go outside approximately
every 45 seconds all morning long. Of course when I refuse to let them out I
get shot the look of utter disdain that seems to be genetically coded into
every feline. Then they retreat to sleep in a box from Costco.
On a personal note all is pretty great. My husband and I
actually hung up some wedding pictures over the weekend. That puts us in just
under the 2 year mark, which I feel is quite respectable. It’s now been 15
months at home (which has absolutely flown by) and I could not be more grateful
for the time I’ve been granted to simply be. What a gift.
That being said, I need to get out of this house!! I need
regular conversations with someone who isn’t a cat or a relative. I need to
be given a task and complete it. I need to wear pants with a button.
I have had many conversations about many possibilities, but I
firmly believe when the fit is right I’ll know. I also firmly believe that’s
coming.
Stay well, and thanks for reading.
Enjoyed reading your post, Caroline. I'm with you on the winter thing - enough is enough already. Say hi to your hubby from us.
