Mother Nature finally seems to be working in my favor as the rain has helped break down the ice for us. Now my POD can be delivered without completely blocking off our access to the garage. Apparently the snowfall amounts this year were the most in 15 years. Radio stations began measuring it in Shaq’s rather than feet. All in all, NH has gotten an average of 77 inches of snow since December 27th. OK… we’re no Shaq (84in) but we did make a full Michael Jordan and I am still going to have to dig the swing set out in order to move it to CO.
We seem to be getting a few hints that Spring is on the way. I hear birds singing outside often now and while the precipitation hasn’t stopped, rain is now the most common form of moisture with some snow mixed in for good driving measure. I even finally have some green spots poking through the more stomped down places in the yard.
I hope as progress finally seems to be made on the move and as the temperatures finally seem to rise, so will my general overall demeanor. This winter has been the toughest ever for me, and my moods have been all over the place. Along with the lovely digestive and tooth pains, I have been a major grumpus. I am moody and irritable. Most days my emotional forecast starts out partly cloudy and nearly everyone is at risk for some thunder. I do think I have a touch of seasonal affective depression, and with the way we got hammered, I would be surprised if everyone in the state doesn’t. I'm sure there is more than a lack of Vitamin D for me since I'm still nursing and still waiting for my, um, system, to normalize after having a baby seven-plus months ago. As much as I am looking forward to feeling the sun on my skin again, as much as I want to get Lil Bit outside to feel grass for the first time, I am mostly hoping the cloud over my own head melts away soon. The thaw can't come soon enough!
