Yeah so hard that it’s SNOW!!!! Come on its April 19th already ENOUGH!!! We’ve pretty much had snow on the ground here since October 28/06, 7 months now. The snow is usually gone by mid march with no more expected til the end of October but not this year. Talk about depressing and gloomy when we should be gearing up for the buds of Spring to bloom. My tulip’s leaves are sprouting, the lilies of the valley are peeking through and my apple, cherry and lilac bush are budding. Everything is ready for Spring but the weather.
I don’t mind the rain as much as it reminds me of my youth growing up on the East Coast of Canada. Which if I was still there would be suffering through that Nor’wester their having down there right now. The bonus to that is all the sealing vessels are blocked in with the ice off the Coast of Newfoundland, couldn’t have happened to a grander bunch. Rescue attempts are being made as the ice is threatening to puncture the hauls of the vessels. They estimate some 5 to 6 hundred men are stranded. I didn’t realize how big the seal hunt actually is, wow mind boggling.
I noticed that the new moon started on Tuesday and usually I embrace it as a new start to things but for some reason this particular new moon has so far brought me nothing but grief. I know all these little hiccups happening in my life right now are growth learning experiences but it’s causing an uneasiness in my temperament. The inner grump is trying to push through my normally smiley outward demeanor and I have to catch my sharp tongue before harsh words roll of it. My entry the other day just couldn’t convey what is really happening to me. I’m forgetful, clumsier and just more so irritated in general.
This morning I forgot to put my rings on that I have done so for over 20yrs now with the same rings. I only noticed after I got to work when I went to twiddle one of them with my thumb which I usually do. So I’m feeling out of sorts and somewhat incomplete, weird eh?
So yesterday I toted my umbrella around all day as the threat of rain was forecasted but it didn’t and I ended up forgetting my umbrella on the bus. This pissed me off as it was a real nice one and besides I had bought in Vancouver when I lived there for the summer of ’97, I would have had it 10yrs in May. I’m hoping I’ll find it at the Lost & Found today as I reported it yesterday but its return is at the mercy of the kindness of strangers so we’ll see how good my karma is in getting it back or not.
I borrowed mother’s umbrella today and have officially entered the eccentric part of my life. I have long admitted the eccentricities I plan on adopting as I age. This first one has already started as I am now carrying and using the umbrella in the snow. Hey I don’t care how stupid it looks as I just hate getting my glasses wet. Also the umbrella doesn’t get wet per say as the snow is a solid, so when you collapse it you don’t get an extra shower.
Thank god I have tomorrow off.
