Today is December 15. Midway through the month of December. It was 72 degrees today.

If we had snow, this would be applicable.
I changed my header today because it’s probably the only snow I’ll see. Earlier this year during Snowpocalypse life was fantastic–we were trapped for nearly a week. I have food and toilet paper in my house so things were fine. If the electricity went out that would surely have sucked, but we have a gas stove, fireplace and blankets. I would be happy to just have cold weather at this point.

I blame this guy.
There are scores of of people who would love to have my weather and if they never saw snow again it would be too soon. But I miss snow. I miss playing in the snow. I grew up in Illinois where there wasn’t just snow, but SNOW. Will my kids ever know the delight of a snow day off of school? Or how about being old enough to have a snow day and driving perilously on sheets of ice to go somewhere, anywhere other than school?
My windows are open. This week I made a huge pot of chili, and while it was good, it felt like a farce.
I don’t know how I’m going to get through this.

Potential self portrait.
