The grass is greener on the other side has a much more literal meaning for me. I have a hard time deciding what type of weather I want. When it’s hot outside, I wish it were cooler. But, when I’m freezing, all I can think about is the summer time and being outside in the sun. The only real seasons I can enjoy myself are certain times in the spring and certain times in the fall. Right at the end of winter when it starts to get warm, those first few weeks when you can wear shorts and still be comfortable, those are the best. It’s not quite warm enough to be laying by the pool, but you still feel the warm sun on your skin after a cooler morning. And, when the summer is starting to come to an end, the evenings are cooler and it feels so good to sit outside. You aren’t sweating any time you leave the house, but during the middle of the day it’s still warm enough to be at the pool and be comfortable. And, each season that I’m in I wish I was in the other one so I could wear the clothes that come with it. When it’s hot outside, I want to wear jeans and my cute beanies, but I can’t. When I’m freezing and going out, I always wish that I could wear a sleeveless top or a dress and be comfortable, but I can’t. I wish it was just the beginning of spring time weather all year!

Here lately I have been craving some outside time. I want to go to the lake and do some fishing before it gets too cold, or I want to just go camping out somewhere pretty. Derek is going to McLean next week for Thanksgiving and he gets to go hunting while he’s there. I am hoping that while I am home for the holidays we at least go out and shoot or do something fun like that. I just know that when the weather starts to freeze I am going to miss being outside or at the lake or camping and I want to get some kind of fun outside trip in before it’s too late! Maybe I can convince my dad that we need to go fishing at the lake before Thanksgiving, because I know that he took off the week for vacation and he’s going to be hanging around the house. I assume they are going to watch to try and go shopping for black Friday this year and I’d really rather opt out of that and do something fun, and I bet it wouldn’t be hard to get my brother and dad to go with me because I know they would rather do something like that than be trapped in the mall with a million people going crazy. Or, maybe I’ll just have to set up a tent in my backyard with my dogs. That’s kind of roughing it. I’ll get to see the stars outside and some wild animals outside of my tent. That is going to be my last choice though for sure.

I’m one of those people that rarely get sick, but when I do it’s horrible. I get just a few colds a year, but when they come it’s like there’s no way I’m going to be getting out of bed. So, when I feel it start to come on I get nervous about how bad it’s gonna be for me this time around. A few days ago, I started feeling like my throat was swelling up. I just ignored it for the most part, until Wednesday rolled around and I wasn’t able to drink any liquids. I just stayed in bed to wait it out, but the next morning it was a lot worse. I went to the clinic and the doctor told me I had swollen tonsils and swollen lymph nodes, and that I had strep throat. Which totally sucks. I had heard about it from a lot of people but I had never gotten it. You can’t drink any liquids because it’s impossible to swallow, and then on top of that, if you don’t get the antibiotic injection they give you horse pills to take. I feel a little better today and I can finally eat food, but the pills make me tired. I feel sorry for anyone else who has to go through this, get the pills as fast as you can and try to drink warm liquids. I’m ready for the next few days to pass and the antibiotics to kick in all the way, and to be able to drink water without a struggle.

I’m an extremely cold natured person. I am ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS cold! It’s a little ridiculous actually. I swear I could be cold outdoors in the middle of July. I’ve actually even had tests run to find out what the hell the deal is. I thought I was anemic for the longest time but all the tests came back negative so I guess I’m just a weirdo who’s cold a lot. It’s really inconvenient because I’m always having to bring a hoodie or sweater with me wherever I go and if I forget one, I’m absolutely miserable. Seriously. I’ve had to walk out of a grocery store in the middle of shopping because I couldn’t stop shaking. I swear my shakes are much more violent than other people’s. My whole body like, convulses. Maybe I don’t have very good blood flow. My toes seem to be cold 24/7. Brrr… I love wearing flip-flops but if I’m indoors with the AC running, my toes turn into little popsicles. It’s really annoying to have to wear socks and shoes in the summer because I love flip-flops and sandles. The worst is when I sleep at night. I like for it to be a little cool so that I can snuggle up with a blanket but it seems like no matter how high I set the heat the night before, I wake up freezing, unable to get out of bed. I have to run to the thermostat and crank up the heat then get back under the covers and wait for it to warm up in my house before I get out of bed for good. Pathetic.
