83...77...50...

no, this is not a math problem where i'm looking for the next number in the sequence; these are the high temperatures for the last 3 days in nashville.  as a person who thinks that the temperature should never be below 60 (for a low) i hate days/weeks like this.  if i weren't already sick to begin with i certainly would be now! 

50 degree days conjure up winter and all that i despise about it:  cold, pervasive darkness (the sun never shines here novemeber-february), snow (or rather frigid rain in this part of the country), cold, the holidays, months on end of mushy, soggy ground, the continuous fight to get winston to venture outside and the nerve-racking mewling from meave as she adjusts to only minutes outside (she would like to spend one out of every 10 outside expecting me to let her in/out at least 12 times every hour), cold, coats, gloves (i actually enjoy wearing scarves), etc...

i'm in a foul mood over it and am feeling very anxious.  i suppose i feel somewhat grateful that i am both unemployed and sick, therefore in no need to get out, as rain is coming and that will only make me worse.  i keep reminding myself that it will be in the 70s again by weeks end though that does little to comfort me today. 

happy 40th birthday to my big brother today!  i love you!

grace and peace
