Smadsty

I'm in some kind of mood today. It's a combination of sad, mad, and feisty… I think I'll call it smadsty.

We're going on day three or four of what I can only call drab weather here in Chicago. No sunlight, just bleak clouds. They aren't even moving, they're just crowded up there in the sky like the people that get crammed together right in front of the stage at a concert. It's disgusting.

This is the kind of weather that always bums me out in a major way. It's the kind of weather that makes winters so absolutely miserable for me. It's the kind of weather that signifies to me that in just a couple months I'll be trapped indoors all hours of the day because it'll be so unbearably cold outside that I won't want to leave. Ever. And I won't ever get to see the sun because the few hours that it shows its face during the day, I'll be stuck in my cubicle that conveniently is not near a damned window….

Oh, Winter! You and I are such BFFs! Yeah, I know, it's still technically fall here, but all fall is here is a prep period for the horrible coldness to come. At least I still have Halloween to look forward to this year, although I'm not sure what I'm going as yet. Here's to hoping we don’t get any snow in October this year like we have in year's past!
