It's the very worst of times, for me.
I'm always cold.
I go everywhere bundled to the max.
Clothes under clothes under clothes.
Everything's dry, the inside of my nose, my throat, my eyes, my skin looks and feels like something that's being mummified.
H@ll, I LOOK like a mummy with all that clothing!!
Add to that the sun hardly ever shines and I DON'T WANT to be out there. There's not enough daylight, EVER.
Everybody cocoons.
Winter SUCKS the big one.
When my kids are grown I'm moving away. Far, far away, to a warm place. Where the sound of the ocean fills my ears every morning and evening, and warm breezes play in my hair, caress my skin. Where my skin is brown, soft, and smooth.
My eyes shine, my smile is bright (because of the teeth against the forever tan, you know).
My limbs feel good and they're strong and supple and active, because being outdoors is a Pleasure.
Where the sun is more of something to be escaped, than something to be missed.
Ahhhhh.
I'll not be a prisoner of this climate forever. Never.
