Hey, radu,
The cold hasn’t actually hit us up here yet. Never used to bother me, extremes of hot and cold were just to be dealt with (I didn’t even b!tch about it, just dressed right, and drank a lot...altering between water and Jack Daniel’s), but the past 2-3 years the joints are acting up a bit...like A LOT! Last I counted I’ve racked up 14 broken bones since the age of 13, and recently I’ve started to remember every damned one of them. Cold doesn’t make me happy. Extreme HEAT and HUMIDITY is the worst! Makes ya wanna strip down to yer skin and want to take that off! Just HEAT is fine. Get in the shade and it’s MUCH cooler...except the snakes, and scorpions also know that.
As I’ve always said, “Life is a risk factor.”
I’m ALWAYS ready for Spring...I start pinning for it right after LABOR DAY (when the last sale is over)...and I want it to get here on NEW YEAR’S DAY...I like all the winter holidays, so I don’t want to miss them, but Jan., Feb., and March (except for St. Patty’s Day), can just take a hike! I probably wouldn’t feel that way if I spent that time on a Caribbean Island...just me, my wife, our hammocks, my shotgun, and our GET LOST!!! signs...4, one posted on each of the cardinal points of the compass around our hammocks. You and yer hubby are invited, but ya gotta bring her own hammocks, and shotgun...and Jack Daniel’s (I don’t trust the water down there). ;-)...and only 10 of yer cats!!!
KEEP THE FAITH.
LOL!!!! We think too much alike. Ready for Spring before Fall really settles in. LOL
Living on a nice, comfy-year-round island is what I dream of. I don’t like cold weather at all and achy joints firing up is one of the reasons. Like you, Hubby has broken several bones over the years and he feels every break nowadays so he’s ready to escape winters as well.
I guess we’d have to find our own little island. Supplying our own hammocks, shotgun, Jack for Hubby (Cokes for me. LOL) is no problem but I’d be awfully hard-pressed to leave 17 of our furbabies behind. :-)
Maybe you’ll get lucky and won’t catch the brunt of this arctic blast. BUT you have more cold ahead than we do over the winter and I feel for ya!
