Cabin Fever ...

I have "cabin fever" !

In nice weather I spend more time outside than in. In nice weather I don't fall asleep in my big poofy chair after reading ten pages of a book.   In nice weather I don't fall asleep in my big poofy chair for three hours after reading ten pages of my book, after getting a good solid ten hours sleep.

In nice weather I do not Troll the internet reacting immaturely to comments that raise my ire.

Cabin fever has changed me.

In winters past I have still gotten out and gone for lovely drives over to the Bay of Fundy,

or down to Peggy's Cove,

or even just for a walk along the shore near me.

But this winter has been (and sadly, still is) long and bitter and icy and the roads not conducive to road trips.

My only outings have been to Shubie park.  But even walking there has sometimes been treacherous.

In order to be able to walk on ice I bought some "grippers" that slip onto the bottom of my boots.

They do help with the walking but I still am unnerved when walking on ice.

 All in all I've pretty much had it with winter !
