Day 6 - The word is "what I wore"

I'm done.

Finished.

Kaput.

I realize that we have not had to endure the the insanity of snow and cold that other places such as Minneapolis or Boston have struggled through this winter.   I also recall that while it seems that we have been in a never ending cycle of gray skies, cold winds, icy rains, and layers of snow, it was just a few weeks ago when we were hitting record highs for the month of January.  So there is really no justification for my rant.  The weather is something that we must accept because it is one of those things that we cannot change. We can adapt.  We can wear layers of clothing to keep away the cold.  We can carry umbrellas to help stay dry.  We can stay safely inside when there is ice everywhere.  But there is no changing the actual weather.  No Cassadine Weather Machine to change our sunny days to snow and vice versa.

Yet March is supposed to be when spring arrives, when the weather turns warmer and milder, where the rain soaks into the ground and awakens all things green ... not freezing on the sidewalks and causing people to slip and slide and attempt to stay vertical.

So it is that, even though it is still a bit chilly and I will still possibly need long sleeves and/or a jacket, I am retiring my coats, scarf and gloves.  The time has come.  Come next fall, I will once again be ready to pull them out and cuddle within their soft warmth.  But right now ... they are going away in the back room closet.

They are not what I am wearing.  They are "what I wore".

Psst ... If you are wondering what is a "Cassadine Weather Machine", then you are not a child of the 80's nor a watcher of General Hospital.  This is the stuff that had me and my friends glued to daytime television during my college years.  We would have to try to schedule our classes around the 2 to 3pm hour because this was before DVRS, VCRS, or any kind of re-watch capability.  If you missed it, you missed it.  Catching up on it meant seeing pictures and reading synopsis' in Soap Opera Digest.  If you Google it and watch a few YouTube clips, you will not only find out what it is, you will also recognize the leaps and bounds that have been made when it comes to television and computers.  LOL!
