After having been on hiatus for months, I am back with much to ponder. I’ve been through a series of computers over the past few months (don’t even ask…!), so my files are a little scattered. For now, I will make do with just my thoughts.
It seems the older I get, the more my allergies act up. This makes no sense to me, since the allergists I have taken my children to have said the more you are exposed to non-deadly allergins, the more likely you become immune to it. Granted, they did also say in small doses over a stretch of time. So, I have a feather bed mattress cover and I think it is the cause of my puffy eyes and scratchy throat. I have taken it off my bed today, and we’ll see how I fare in the coming days.
And the snow…this is the most snow I remember in Southern Idaho in a very long time. Yes, we are experiencing the effects of La Nina and in many ways, its very cool. Snow forts, snow ball fights, sled rides from the 4wheeler…But now, here at the tail end of February, I find myself more often than not dreaming of the warm spring days that lie ahead. In fact, as I was browsing/ editing my myspace pictures, I was reminded of the hot summer days we had last year, and I got excited thinking about enjoying another summer here in this lovely wine country.
That is, until I left my office (no windows!) and headed home in the darkness and snow.
But there is hope! The sun is rising earlier every day, setting later every night and I can feel the last bit of winter waning away! I am the most impatient person in the world, however and I just wish it’d hurry up and be over with already!
