.... and borders on the insane.
As I type, the wind is blowing and the sun is probably shining over The Bahamas because we haven't seen it at all today. Our recent temperatures of 80 degrees are once again gone, gone, gone. The weather wizards on TV are saying that those numbers will be dropping 50 degrees within the next 24 hours. Oh goodie. I can hardly wait. Do the weather wizards have to keep smiling when they give us such bad news? I would appreciate it very much if they delivered an apology along with a bad weather forecast--- "I'm so sorry to tell y'all this, but it's going to feel more like Alaska than Texas for the next seven days.... I tried very hard to find a more suitable forecast for y'all, but it just wasn't in the cards this week."
I keep saying this.... but when we first moved to this state twenty years ago, we didn't have such violent cold snaps, and the Canadian winds stayed up near Canada, where they belong. With apologies to Canada.... (we've been there and it's beautiful) but I don't exactly need any of that brutal weather during the months of December and January, thank you very much.
And right about now, the Canadians are thinking "You call that cold snap brutal?! "
In my city-girl mind, this is brutal, and about the only thing that's going to keep you warm and toasty when you go outside is a full length mink. But they don't do that here. So I can't. I guess I'll just freeze and be thankful that we don't live in Canada.
As the temperatures drop, I get cranky. And the lower the temperatures, the crankier I get. My apologies. Time for hot tea.... and a good book.
However....... on the bright side (and there's always a bright side)... when I checked the utility closet this morning, the sticky glue-traps were not holding either a mouse or a snake. There is a god.
