Cabin Fever

KittyLouSoutenu — Sat, 21 Feb 2015 22:00:46 GMT

I don't know how everyone up north has dealt with this krap all winter.

It's only been a week of tons of snow and record breaking low temperatures and today ice and other frozen precipitation and I'm ready to just book a flight to Cancun.

Looks like ""Log Cabin"" fever has set in on this forum today.

Great!! That sounded like lots of fun. Are you still doing ballet? You mentioned the dreaded bar.

I AM still doing ballet. I have a Love/Hate relationship with the barre. But you know what they say, "What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger".

And then there's Modern. I'm learning to "make friends with the floor".

Hopefully we will be back in class on Monday evening.

I get cabin fever. I dont get out much in Winter, especially this Winter where its been freezing single digit and below zero temps and or snowing, ice, or something every other day.

Its snowing now, with ice coming tonight.

I used to like Winter before I had a bad back and could shovel, sled, etc. Now I hate it.

I cant WAIT for warmer weather to get out more with my husband on our Sunday dates to movies, go in our hot tub on the deck!!!!!! and sit on the porch and get fresh air.

For instance in the past 9 days I have been out one time to run to the store with DH. (big deal! lol).

I'm not a winter sports fan (although I occasionally like to watch the downhill skiers and snowboarders on TV), I just don't like having to layer clothing every day before I leave the house, scraping ice from the windshield, digging out when I get stuck. Blech.

I like to put on a tank top, jeans and sandals and run out of the house!

Ah, well, Spring WILL be here soon.

When I escape from cabin fever, it can be very expensive in retail therapy!!

So, all those Hallmark channel movies and others where folks are stranded for days together in adverse weather are just a bunch of hooey? No romance, no desire to just be with one another?

I would not survive that cold weather. I think those of you who do live where it's very cold are special folks.

The terrier and I just came back from a two mile walk. We had to trace our same route twice - since it was the area where the sidewalks were best plowed.

It's been snowing since Noon, but it's 20 degrees - a HEAT WAVE - since yesterday was minus 8 for most of the day.

It felt like walking in sand on a beach - that's what I tried to convince myself!

I love snow and at this moment it looks beautiful outside. We went to an early afternoon showing of Still Alice, (wonderful performance) then picked up a pizza. My husband watched basketball while the dog and I played in the snow.

My lilac bushes outside my bedroom windows are under seven feet of snow. The man who plows our parking lot had no other place to put the snow.

I have my fingers crossed that they will survive!

Agh. Can you knock some of the snow off the lilacs with a broom, terrier?

No. They are totally encased in snow that has been there for over 3 weeks...

Hopefully, they'll be OK, terrier.

I had some pretty delicate bushes right outside my office window that were routinely plowed over with snow every winter and they were always fine. Maybe a few broken branches but they always came back and thrived.
