This weather sucks. When people get older, they are not able to cope with the cold weather. I'm 69 years old and I have seen all of this cold Siberian weather that I can take. When the weather drops below 50 degrees outside, you will find me inside. I just can't take it!
I've done everything I can think of to fight off this cabin fever. I have watched so much tv and Netflix that I am about to go blind. I've got this crummy book I am trying to read. I've cleaned out my desk drawers that have not been cleaned since 2002. I got all my tax papers together for the accountant. I never do that before April 1. I've surfed the internet for hours. I have Facebooked, Pinterested, e-mailed and texted. I've even taken my wife to Wal Mart shopping. Now that is extreme.
The weatherman is forecasting another 7 days of record breaking cold weather. As I look out my back window it is snowing a blizzard.
My wife and I have been talking about cashing in some frequent flyer miles and heading south. Unfortunately we can't afford a place to stay once we get there. I swear that next year this time I will be in a warmer climate. In the meantime, I can only sit here and dream about some of places I have been and would like to be right now.
