I’ve somehow remained optimistic through the month of February and managed to keep my mood elevated, but I’m finally fed up with winter. I sit here in bed, having called in sick from work. My doctor diagnosed me with bronchitis this morning (which I’ve had for 2 months now). It’s 14 degrees outside and we’re hunkering down for yet another snow storm tonight.
Last night I finally had my winter frustration meltdown. I’m sick of snow and cold weather. I’m tired of layering up my clothes to stay warm. I’m ready for warmer weather and open-toed shoes. I’d even be happy with some rainy days as long as it was warmer outside. Today is the last day of February and March usually brings more optimism.
Ok, no more complaining. I’m going to settle into bed and try to get better.

Aw girl! I’m so sorry to hear of your winter blues. It’s already in the 80’s here in Texas but that means we’re in for a scorching summer of 110+degree weather! Yee-haw!

Sorry to hear, but in a way it’s good to know I’m not the only one who’s past ready for Spring.
Come on by my blog and watch the clip I just posted if you need a good laugh. That always perks me up. - Joker

Get better, Spring is just around the corner and you will be able to blow out the winter blues with a season of good rides!

Sorry your under the weather, Lizzie. I’ll try to send a little Alabama sunshine your way. I know how much we are enjoying our pretty days. It makes a Saturday afternoon ride, that much better. Take care of yourself! Lady R.

Get well soon Liz. I can sympathize about the winter blues. It won’t be long now and you will be riding in the sun and will have forgotten all about the sucky winter past.

Living up in New Hampshire I understand how you feel…been battling the funk, too. Hope you’re feeling better! The time change definitely helps…I’ve been reading your blog and enjoying it…wanted you to know about a new motorcycle event up here in North Conway, NH this June - Rally in the Valley. Week long events and rides for everyone…special bracelets grant you great freebies and discounts at local businesses. you can check out more info at: http://www.mtwashingtonvalley.org and, of course, I recommend Darby Field Inn for lodging since thats where I do my 40 hours a week (lol!)… I hope to see a bunch of folks there celebrating warm weather!

It’s finally looking like spring is coming here in Iowa. This was the longest winter we’ve seen in years…It started in November and has lasted until March. Usually we are able to ride a couple days each month during the winter but not this year. The other day I had my head sticking out the window of my car just breathing in the fresh air. Ahhhhh SPRING!
Hope you are feeling better Lizzie!

Well I can’t say I know how you feel. The coldest it’s been here in SoCal is about 55 degrees during the warmest part of the day. We’ve been riding all through Winter!
