Warmer Days Ahead: My Springtime Rant

It’s April 19 and 82 degrees outside!

I had plans before the hot weather arrived.

I was going to lose twenty pounds.

I still haven’t gotten the window screens in yet.

And I haven’t finished getting the gardens ready for spring and summer is already here?

Seriously, I’m hot!!

Only in my dreams would I look this good on a hot day. Remember, I still have twenty damn pounds to shed. Damn you, Ben and Jerry. 🤬

What else can I complain about?

Oh yeah, the black flies are already buzzing their annoying selves at my face when I’m outside weeding.

It’s April for goodness sake; shouldn’t they be hibernating someplace?

Damn black flies.

Have I mentioned I’m hot?

No, not sexy hot. Again, twenty pounds — pay attention.

I’m sweating hot.

It’s only April 19!!

In truth, I accept part of the responsibility for the freaky weather. I lived through the big hair days of the 80’s.

Yup. My hair was so hard from hairspray I didn’t need a helmet to ride on a motorcycle.

So, in truth, Mother Nature’s bad behavior is partly my fault.

And Aquanet’s.

Blessed be :}

Mi manchi, mia amata immortale.
