It's snowing again in Alabama. It's March, people. Snow does not fall in Alabama in March. Did someone upstairs not get the memo? I'd have loved this snow, scant though it is, in December. That's when it's supposed to snow. But this is Alabama, and it doesn't really snow here.
Except now. Why now? Why, when I want warmth and sunshine, do I have to put up with more snow? At least the weekend forecast is supposed to be sunny and 60s. That's more like it! We're accustomed to 60s in March. (We're accustomed to them in December too.) Can I please have my normal weather pattern back, dear El Nino?
Aside from the snow making me grumpy, I'm working on the latest book. Yes, it takes place in Russia. Yes, there is snow. I'm rather sick of snow.
In other Chez Harris news, I believe I'm going to have to track down and terrorize a misbehaving cat any minute. Nimitz, the evil beast, is yowling. Which wouldn't be a bad thing, if he were a normal cat. But destruction usually follows on the heels of the yowling. He likes to get on my hall table and knock over pictures. Or he'll open cabinets and crash around through the pots and pans. Then there's his fascination with the fireplace. And yes, he's actually tried to get into it while the fire was on. That's why I keep a handy dandy squirt bottle available. It'll either keep him out of the fire, or douse him once he's set himself ablaze. 😯
So, today it's snow, writing, and flaming cats. What about you? Anything interesting going on?
I have work to do around here, but what the heck, it’s snowing so I’m curling up in the media room with a hot cup of tea and watching a Poirot movie; I think “The Blue Train” should do it, it takes place in the sunny south of France!
That sounds fun! Hope it was good. 🙂
I have to laugh about your ‘flaming’ cat. He really doesn’t seem to be distressed that you are so worried about his safety, does he?
Yeah, driving through snow to get to work was a pain this morning. But I love it! I like bundling up with a lap blanket and snuggling next to the fire/wood stove. As long as I’m warm, I’m happy. But I do have to admit, I am in the mood for some sun. And not just a teaser. The real deal! Hopefully, we’ll get it soon.
No, the cat is not distressed at all. In fact, he acts all indignant when I yell and squirt him right before he’s about to be a fireball. 😕
60s forecast this weekend! Cannot wait!
Snow Day from–argh I am so with you–sick of the snow. I can’t wait till this weekend and we have good weather.
Me? I am caring for decrepit husband, aging cat who’s developed an addiction to wet food, angsty teenager and cleaning house.
Oh, and I wrote over 800 words today. Whew.
Oh Christine, I feel for you. Guess I should stop complaining! At least my snow day only involves an irritating cat (and a different, much sweeter cat). Hubby was at work.
Congrats on the words!
Thanks Lynn. I sort of reached a “can I cry moment” today. Chauffeuring my dh around, praying he’d get to the cane a bit sooner, taking Dowager Feline Clancy to the Vet and preparing for a visit from a friend while desperate to reach “the end” again. One more scene. You know? OH. But good news! Clancy the Cat is regaining her health. Up a pound a half since her big scare last week. (she started bleeding from her eye!) and now she’s just her little spunky 18 year old self again! Thank God.
Weekend weather looks good. Thank God for that, too!
Don’t worry you’re not alone. At least we don’t have the scenario of living in the Northeast.
All I can say is Think Spring!!!!
Hi, Mary Ann! You are so right! It could always be worse. And we’re supposed to get 60s and sun this weekend, so I will be happy. 🙂
I live in Canada and it’s been raining here. Maybe mother nature got our weather mixed up?
I agree, Anne! It’s seemed all winter like the weather pattern has been flipped upside down. You can have your snow back! 😀
