kittykats1's blog post - rain rain go away

I am so over the rain right now. I know we need it, but I am tired of it. I am way over the cold, too. As a matter of fact I am so over Winter it's not even funny. I hate the cold. I know my whining about temps will fall on deaf ears to the folks in the Midwest & back East. I can't take the cold and once it's hits 58 I am miserable.

I couldn't imagine living anywhere where it snows. Snow? Holy shit. I am a California girl; give me summer and warmth. I hate wearing clothes so I love Summer. Summer means little or no clothes for me. If I am home alone I am naked. Hell I am even naked out in my backyard, I could give a shit if anyone sees lol.

I just got done cleaning out my dresser and looking longingly at my cute shorts and skirts all while shivering in sweatpants, long sleeves and a scarf. I am even wearing socks and I HATE wearing socks!

Every time I walk by the thermostat I crank it up. Someone keeps turning it down. Hmmm. I suspect my husband. It certainly isn't our son, and the cats can't reach it. See my hubby and I have opposite body thermostats. He is always hot and I am always cold. I keep flannel sheets, 2 down comforters and a quilt on our bed year-round. I will be shivering underneath the mound of covers while he is lying on top of them sweating. Even in Summer I am under the blankies, but he turns on the AC so I feel like an ice cube.

As for the rain and the storms, we have been hit with a series of them. A lot of high winds and deluge conditions. It had been raining so much so fast that creeks and streets are flooded. The winds were so high that trees are falling all over the place. Just today I saw a brand new SUV crushed under a fallen tree. The car was parked in the people's driveway. It is a total loss. Across the street from that another person's driveway is blocked by a fallen tree. Across the street from us our neighbor has a tree down in his front yard. Tons of fences down, too and many people are still without power. Our basement flooded which sucks bigtime. I think the carpet is ruined down there. What a mess. Our backyard looks a total mess. No point in doing anything about it now, another storm is coming in. Lovely. I have my candles at the ready. We haven't lost power yet (knock wood) but we have been lucky. I am so looking forward to Summer...you have no idea...

Puurrs to all,
