(*to read entire entry...beta up already!*)
stretching, yawning....yes, yes...the queen is unrested. her mind is mush. a headache is brewing. and she is crabby - verily.
yes, yes,...the queen, once again, survived her weekend 12 hour night shifts...ready to come home and crash on the big soft comfy chair snuggled safe in a wide swath of sunbeams pouring in through her windows...
ah,....sun...beams....I almost forgot what they were...warm, bright...comfortable - a welcomed event given the last seven days here.
Yes, we've had rain...
Oh and cold. Did I mention cold? Yes, we've had seven straight days of wet, gloomy, gray, drippy, cold, rain....
Oh....and did I mention wind?
niiiice.
really, everyone should live here. We're beginning to speak with an english accent now or maybe it's eskimo aleut, I can't be sure anymore...
And so, imagine my excitement and surprise when after pushing through the hospital doors this morning I was actually greeted with the sun on my face....And for a moment - It was glorious, damn near orgasmic, even...
but no...thirty-three nanoseconds later, I realized I've been had - for even those long awaited, much anticipated, morning sunbeams were evil, I tell you - they were there soley to lure me into the netherworld...stupid me for thinking - oh I dunno, "if it's April 5th, and the sun is out - then surely it must be spring"...really, whatever was I thinking....
for any good eskimo will tell you - one has to remember to factor in the wind chill. Winds gusting at 45 mph coupled with the chilly high of 42 means - why, (checking my calculations)....means it really only feels like 18 degrees!
E i g h t e e n friggin degrees. Not twenty - eighteen. That folks, translates to crisp. - Instant frozen boogers kinda crispy morning weather - stinging frozen pins and needles in your fingers - as you fumble with the frozen door locks kinda crispy morning weather. Crispy, evil, sun-glaring, April 5th, Eskimo IndianSpringtime kinda morning weather, dammit.
...wait..what's this...NEWSFLASH: Cicada Invasion: Eastern U.S. Braces for Bug Swarm
oh, ...I ...think... I ...am ...going ...to... have... to...have a friggin stroke here....

Good morning, Sunshine! And I realize it is 1pm here and 2pm there, but....
Speaking of Cicadas--based on that same article, there is an AOL group dedicated to writing haikus all about the infernal, infesting critters. I did not play. _RRose sent me a link, and I haven't a clue how to reproduce it here, so I'll e-mail....
P.S. Thanks for all the bandaids, actually.

Oh My! I'm afraid the nasty weather might be my fault. I did forget to order sunshine when I went outside today. :-)
Oh, so sorry to hear about the wet gloomy, cold weather. I think I would be pulling my hair out..Hope some warm weather comes your way soon.
My condolences re this double weather/bug whammy you're having. I'm not even gonna insert some sunny Cali comments here, lest the queen banish me forever!
