Oy vey indeedy, you got that right. That scratchy ol’ record has been playing for years and years…

Then again, you probably haven’t been effectively trapped inside your house for four long months! There have honestly been only a handful of days when one could just walk out the door and take a hike. Incarceration is a bitch, and something needs to be done about that.

Point taken, though. And have you read the Helen Chronicles?

Quit feeling like a victim and remember you are the hero of your story…NOT the victim!!

You need to REPROGRAM your self-talk.

Oy Vey!

Yes, that was thunder. But if you want a real thrill, try driving down Vista del Valle Road. Jesus H. Christ, now we’re being buried in corn snow. This is turning into some kind of freak disaster scene. My wife just tried to get to her studio and turned back. Things are going to get ugly…

As for pictures, I think you could add them if they were on a server somewhere and you linked to them — and you knew the proper HTML, etc. etc.

THUNDER!?!?

I just heard thunder for the first time in about 6 months. Of course it was snowing at the time!? My first experience of the “Time when the thunder sleeps.”

In TX, it thunders all the time, even back when we used to elect Democrats.

I just mowed my lawn last week with my manual reel mower – and now there is 5 inches of snow on the ground. Glad I havent planted anything yet, but still….Ugh. My nails might be going the way of the dodo too…

We must be incredibly lucky in our flower placement. I just scouted and didn’t find a single broken stem. Of course none of them have bloomed, yet, either. Even our tiny little “racist flowers” (the plant is a nettle variety called “White Nancy”) held up to the covering.

Is it possible to attach a picture to a comment? I’ll email the pic.

My wife is ready to bite nails in half.

I prefer to think of all the green lushness that will result, but I’m keeping a low profile on the weather thing for now. Aside from this post, at least.

But man, it’s been a long winter. They’re always long. I haven’t been “hot” for 10 years, because it never really warms up, and then it’s cold again. Can’t stand being sweaty, though. What to do, what to do… Suck it up, probably. I counsel caution: this is all part of the Big Test.

I am so done with this stuff. Seriously. Enough is enough.
