It’s cold and rainy out today. I’m sneezing and I know I’m catching a cold.
Don’t you hate that “before” you get sick feeling? You know you are going to get sick, but you aren’t there, so you can’t stay in bed and feel sorry for yourself.
So you go to work, feel like crap all day, suffer with a “not quite” sore throat, and wish you could go home and take a nap.
I would almost kill for a nap right now.
I even went out and got chicken tortilla soup for lunch today. That helped, for a moment.
I want to go home, climb in my bed, with the down comforter, and snuggle down for the winter, except it’s not winter, it’s almost summer.
This year, the weather guys are playing a trick on us Montanans, especially those of us that are California transplants.
Sunday, it was cold and foggy out, but in the afternoon, it got up into the high 80’s, and we finally started thinking…”maybe” summer is finally coming. Monday was pretty warm, but not hot.
Tuesday, I was going to finish planting my garden when I got home from work, but just as I picked the kids up from daycare, it started getting cold and stormy looking. By the time I got home, they were stating on the news that we were going to have “severe” hail and thunder and lightening. You should have seen me out in my garden, trying to protect the new plants I had put in on Sunday. Needless to say, I didn’t plant any more on Tuesday.
Now I have an entire gardens worth of tomato and pepper plants on my kitchen counter. They will be beautiful, I’m sure, but right now, their little muddy peat pots are making a mess on my counter. Then there is the green house thingy that we have going to start the sugar snap peas and zucchini’s. Oye….
Yesterday it started getting cool (no…cold) again. When I came to work this morning; it was in the low 40’s and has been pouring rain since.
So our weekend camping plans are in the toilet, and I still haven’t gotten my garden all the way done.
This feels like cold, rainy beach weather, which is great, if you are by the beach.
So my new weekend plans include “movie” night tomorrow with my son. A huge party in my very big king sized bed with my kids on Saturday complete with movies and naps. Sunday, hopefully I can finish planting the garden.
Warm and Happy Thoughts,
Peace,
OC
We're having the same kind of chilly (albeit it doesn't sound like, quite as wet) weather. I am at present, in my office with a long sleeved t-shirt, a knit sweater and a cotton jacket.
ReplyDeleteSorry you haven't gotten the garden all the way in. I'll keep hope alive that Sunday will work out for ya. Oy, indeed.
It's been freezing here too,finally warming up again.

Zicam, get some Zicam quick!! It really does help stop a cold if you use it early. Plus Vicks' on your feet at night.
ReplyDeleteBe well,

You need to take care naps. They are my favorite guilty pleasure.
ReplyDeleteWe've been roller-coaster on the temps and spring/winter-like weather, too. It's been rough! The winds are dying down, it sounds like, and tomorrow should start us warming up--but as long as the humidity stays away, I suppose I ought not complain.
ReplyDeleteFeel better, OC. Squeeze lemon into your hot water--lemon tea that doesn't stain your teeth! :)
Be well.
Hey hope you are feeling better soon! I found that Airborn helped although there have been articles on that recently that say it really doesn't do anything. I did think it helped me fight off a little cold however.
ReplyDeleteWe're supposed to have great weather here this weekend. Oh man -did I just jinx myself or what?
