It's That Time Of Year
sometimes i think this time of year is harder than winter. which if you know me is a pretty severe and bizarre statement, as i hate winter. and when i say i hate winter, i loathe and detest it. i dread it every year. i get sad when the leaves start to turn and then fall off the trees. i can't stand it when the grass turns brown and goes dormant, although the adorable one is relieved not to have to cut it. regardless, it seems to get harder and harder to make it through the winters--this last one really hung on for dear life until May.
i know what's coming. it bothers me that it's pitch black in the mornings now and totally dark by 8:00 p.m. and as soon as the idiotic daylight saving time (and it is saving, not savings people!), it will start getting dark at 4:30 p.m. i'm just not ready. not ready for fall and sure as hell not ready for winter.
maybe because at heart i don't like change. i never have. this time of year makes me sad. if it was up to me, summer would last year round, which is why i think the adorable one and i will relocate to a warmer locale, like sunny florida.
i don't give a flying fig about hurricanes, i really don't. i won't miss the seasons. i won't miss the leaves falling off the trees or the grass turning brown. i want to live where it's eternal summer.
because summer, in my mind, is the best time of year. i can remember being younger and getting up early on a summer day, walking around in the yard, barefoot, while the dew was still on the grass. seemed like the days used to last forever, not like they do now, where if you sleep until 10:00 or 11:00 a.m., it seems like you've already lost a good chunk of the day.
when did time start flying by in a blink? i know it's because i'm getting older. hell, i'm hitting the big 4-0 in just about a month. and the problem is, i don't want time to keep speeding up, because that's what it seems to be doing. is that what happens as we get older? because it's sucky, really sucky.
i don't really have anything else to say on the subject, but i had to get this out of my system. at least for now.
