snow, sun, & sick

I feel the need to complain a little bit…first off, snow is a wonderful thing, but only for awhile. As of yesterday, Western Michigan got dumped on with about 7 inches of snow. And of course, the school district I work for felt it necessary to be open anyway. Our snow blower is currently on the fritz, so shoveling is the only option. I’m pretty sure we’re going to be shoveling until the end of April.

Honestly, I really don’t mind snow, but what I do mind is the no sun that accompanies Michigan winters. We literally have not seen the sun in well over a week. That is much more depressing to me than the large amounts of snow piled up along our driveway. I’ve begun the battle of winter blahs. It begins in the morning when I have to force myself out from under the fleece sheets and down blanket. By nighttime, I’m ready to crawl back under them about 8pm.

And, the other grumble I have right now is being surrounded by sickees. Obviously it is a job hazard, one I cannot avoid, but it makes me so nervous that my body may succumb to it as well. Flu season has definitely begun and I’m doing my best to avoid it. Vitamins, orange juice, exercise, going to bed on time…I pray that I may be spared!

*whew!* thanks for listening…I feel a little better. :)
