Good Grief I Am Sick Of The Cold

Yes, I know I'm whining. If you don't want to read this, read something more cheerful, like the stock market reports. (or not)

Seventeen days until I leave for Florida. How I wish I had scheduled this trip for today, but I suppose giving 5 days notice for a vacation isn't very professional.

I am throughly sick of the cold. I know I'm probably preaching to the choir, but doesn't it seem like this has been a colder winter than normal? Longer, colder, crappier overall? Generally by now it would feel a touch warmer but it doesn't feel that way at all. I've worn my long johns (janes?) more often this winter than in years past and I know that I've worn layers more often.

I am just overall exhausted from the cold and misery. Although we really haven't had that much snow (at least large measurable quantities), it does feel like I've been cold since November. Way too long.

Maybe my blood is getting thinner, maybe I'm just less patient, maybe I'm just cranky, who knows but I know that each year I live here is one more year I cannot figure out why I don't live somewhere warmer.

Sigh.

Things that have irritated me this week.

1. I'm not on vacation yet.
2. Everyone else seems to be.
3. I don't really want to drive to La Porte tonight, only to return tomorrow mid-day.
4. I haven't slept near enough.
5. I forgot to give the Mean Girls some gamblin' money for me.
6. Work hasn't slowed down one iota with the boss gone.
7. There isn't any Nutty Bars in the vending machine downstairs.
8. I continue to medicate my cat. Daily. Twice a day.
9. I have a feeling I won't get any rest this weekend.
10. My roof still leaks.
11. The fucking condo association bastard has not called me back.
12. I have called him 3 times.
13. I have only received one of my reimbursement checks from my travels.
14. My client has not paid me yet.
15. The antibiotics the cat is on make him have diarreah. Yes, it is as fun as it sounds.
16. It rained today. (see #10)
17. Apparently, a work order had NOT been filed on my roof. (see #10)

That's all I can think of for now. I'm sure there will be more.
