Hooks in you

Okay, I know it's not technically, officially spring yet, but come on! It is March at least, and that means there should at least be some sign that spring is almost here and winter is drawing to a close. Right?

Nope.

I wake up this morning, look out the window, and see...a couple of centimeters of fresh snow everywhere (about an inch for those non-metric types out there). This has been the most wintry day in quite a while, all cloudy and snowy, and quite frankly, it's getting a bit tiresome. Bring on the spring already! You know, green growing things, flowers poking up their heads, etc. etc.

Oh I get it - the fact that the temperatures rose above zero and the falling snow turned to rain and the snow on the ground turned to this grayish-brown slush is the sign that spring is coming. Wonderful. One or the other please. Snow and winter, or sunshine and spring. Thanks. Appreciate it.

In other news, I went back to teaching today. Not as bad as I had feared, but still not as good as I had hoped. I am feeling better, but I'm still not close to 100%. I think I got rid of my fever, and my body doesn't ache all over any more, but every time I spoke I was interrupted by the hacking cough, courtesy of the fact that my cold/flu/space-plague has migrated back down into my lungs. Still, it's nice that it no longer feels like my brain is either in danger of leaking out my nose or that it's swelling up and threatening to explode my head wide open. So I'll count my blessings where I can find them, I guess.

And for the "anonymous" commenter who claimed I didn't take her advice and load up on the Vitamin C, I can only say that I did, in fact, load up on the Vitamin C, but it's not a panacea, and that I don't think Superman could have successfully resisted this thing. I'm just saying.
