The last vestiges of cabin fever or seasonal affective disorder (SAD) or the winter doldrums or whatever one wants to call it have exerted themselves in my psyche. My soul is clearly done with this tiny bit that is left of Winter 2014 and has officially balked. I’m done.
I should have known this was coming – last week it was snowing, still I bought iced drinks from Starbucks – twice. I’m done.
I decided I am done with anything and everything down. My oh god it’s freezing long down coat, my shorter heavy wool coat, my heavier hats, all sent to the cleaners or the laundry. That final step before being put away for the season. I’m done.
Yesterday, I went without a hat. I did not even have one stuffed in my pocket just in case. I’m done.
Today has an expected high of 50 degrees and I am planning on doing something that has not happened in months – wear a dress. Do you hear me? I’m done.
I have five living plants on my desk at work – that is not enough. I am buying a bouquet of flowers because I need the sight of flora near me, I need it now. I’m done.
I normally do not get into such a tizzy like this until mid-April and if it snows again, which is still quite possible, I am going to be mightily ticked-off, mightily, but right now I don’t care. I feel the longer I keep holding on to my winter gear the longer Ol’ Man Winter keeps his grips in my mental space and he just needs to GO! I’m done.
So you hear me Persephone? We’re sick of your mama Demeter taking her yearly seasonal affective disorder out on us poor mortals. Dionysus must have had her seriously lapping up the vino this season. Have you seen what she did to Boston?! Girlfriend, I know Hades is your boo and all, but it’s just time honey. Time for you to get off the man’s hot pocket and bring your hot seat back surface side so your mama can can start warming some stuff up around here, like now. We’re done.
Oh yeah, when I start kvetching with the Olympians you know what’s up? Yeah, you guessed it – I’m done!

Come see how others are facing this 11th day of the challenge:
Raivenne-lations 
I think I am done too! I bought my first iced coffee yesterday as I got too warm while walking with my winter coat one! I am ready for spring! Perhaps your words will encourage the warmer temps to stay here and not just visit.
From your lips Jaana…! Thanks.
AMEN! Or at least Great Zues , please control that wench! Agreed let the madness of the open toe platform heals, lace shorts, and the dreaded wife beaters begin.
Great Zeus! The thought of some of those toes coming out of hibernation without the proper preparation – ewwww! lol
I am also done. Went out today and actually left the coat in the car. Those Olympians need to get their act together!
You’re preaching to the Greek chorus, Arjeha. 🙂
Great Zeus indeed! I love how you took on the gods of ill weather! We are all sick of this weather…..but this week as the warm winds blew into town, a new threat to our health and safety emerged: the dreaded POT HOLEQ
Thanks Anita! Oh those pot holes are treacherous indeed. Those things can swallow a car hole. Be careful out there.
