Happy Midwinter, I GUESS
I didn't celebrate Imbolc or Candlemas or Groundhog Day or whatever you like to call it. I had no enthusiasm for it this year. I couldn't feel like having six more weeks of winter (at least) was a reason to celebrate. And I know that technically Yule is "midwinter" but here in this hemisphere and climate, this is the middle of winter. And this winter has been all winter, all the time.
So bah on that. And feh on the dumb groundhog. Humbug!
The kids have taken turns being sick off and on since Friday, in fits and starts, and I'm crossing my fingers and washing my hands and hoping like heck I don't catch whatever it is flitting betwixt them. I don't need it.
So right now C is languishing on the couch, being all flushed and sad, and A is back at school, because despite her nighttime snottiness, she is perky and fit and has no business being here climbing the walls. I'm happily pursuing the fine arts of laundry and cleaning. Ha. Haha!
I'm still waiting for someone to volunteer to take me to Italy. If that's too far, Barbados would be an acceptable compromise.

It snowed on Imbolc here. So much for the first freaking day of spring. My daffs are sprouting but look like they'll bloom later than usual this year.
I'm with you - no enthusiasm for celebrating this year. Too much snow, too much cold, no end in site...waaaa.
Speaking of Italy, my son is planning a semester in Florence next year - and I want to go! Waaa, again.
