It's Indian Spring. Is there such a thing? Maybe Caucasian Spring. Or African Spring. Or Arab Spring. Or Oriental Spring. I don't know. Whatever it is, it's out of season.
It's in the 60's today. That's 30 dgs. warmer than normal. Don't get me wrong. It's nice not to have to burn so much fuel to keep the house warm. And I suppose it's even ok seeing [some] of the folks in town in their shorts, but the bugs I can do w/o. Yes, those are a pest. The stink bugs particularly.
I have the stink bug dungeon in a large coffee can already in use. That isn't normally around until May. *sigh*
My neighbor across the street has started a new relationship. This apparently is interfering in his hobby of roaring around his property on his dirt bike as I've not seen or heard him doing so since she moved in. In what was a move of frustration on his part [at this I am only guessing] he went out and tore the speed limit sign off the tree by the road at the edge of his property and stomped back toward his house early this morning. Later today I found the sign in my culvert. Nice. I give the relationship about 3 to 6 mos. , but maybe I'll be wrong and she'll get a dirt bike, too. I'm leaving the sign in the culvert. If it rains and flows on the wash down to the corner and blocks the outflow under the road it will back up and flood his front yard. Yes. I can be evil that way.
My generally nice live and let live attitude is beginning to fray a bit around the edges these days. I'm becoming more entrenched in the land of grumpy. Actually I am turning into a roaring bitch, if the truth be known and the only one I feel for is my son because although he's rarely the recipient of this transformation he does have the dubious benefit of hearing much of the tirade accompanying it. Why am I harridaning so? Partly because I'm feeling fed up with so many things that I burst with it and then there is the med change. The doc warned me there might be a slight alteration in mood. ahahahaha. 'Like what?' 'You may find yourself slightly more terse than usual.' Again__ahahahahaha.
Anyway. I'm thinking I should apply for a job as a termagant__one to work on a professional level. A professional mouth weapon of a certain age that can be pointed and fired at a specific target. Applications to AARP__worthy green groups__defense groups for victims especially children and animals. Yep, point and shoot. The lethal tongue.
We still have winter here, if you really want some, It goes on for several more months, even.
ReplyDeletePS - I TOTALLY approve of leaving that sign exactly where it is. I like the way you think.
Why, ty, Tree. I don't get much approval these days. Not that I'm looking for it but it's nice when it comes.
ReplyDeleteAs far as winter goes, if things run the way they usually do when this pattern goes it's course it'll turn cold again and we'll have a long cold wet Spring.
You're a genius.
ReplyDeleteI'm super grumpy today... but recognized it enough decided it was best to avoid people of all sizes shapes and ages... now I'm counting down the hours until I can just call it a day and lay my head down.
*preens* I don't know Why I'm a genius but I'll take all the geniusing I can get. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I should have avoided town altogether. Watching the yahoos try to run each other down in all their exuberance this morning was nearly more than I could stand.
Since my dad has retired, per my mum's report, he has been in a very pleasant - laughing, joking and teasing "like when we first got married." ... Apparently retirement suits my father. :)
ReplyDeleteI like your idea. Weapon of Mouth Destruction (grin)
Aw__it's nice he hasn't turned into the 'get off my lawn!' guy.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the verbal destructive powers go, it's probably a good thing I can only remember a fraction of my vocabulary.
Idjits ! That's what they are. Idjits!
ReplyDelete'Zactly!
ReplyDelete*laughing fit to bust!* Love every word you have written here Goldie. Especially love the wolf. You sound just like me when I get going. Yes, even down to the changed pills. I have been very quiet lately because I could see my mouth was getting above average in it's snarling. I never could stand idiots anyway. LOL
ReplyDelete*grin*
ReplyDeleteIf we had the energy, we could be dangerous.
It is in the 20's here today. I hate it. I hate winter. I have to take a nap now. Your teddy bear picture is very cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of having a t-shirt made: I DO bite
