I am one of those Native Californians who reinforce the notion that Californians are wimps where weather is concerned. To all of you who also live here and are not wimps, I am sorry for my frailty. It is one of the reasons that I never refused to move from here. It’s comfortable and that’s what I need right now.
The most comfortable spot for me this morning is in my bed. Unfortunately, I may have to get up for my coffee and cough drops. When I do get up, I’ll see the destruction that has been done to my beautiful yard. My back fence is leaning into the neighbor’s yard, and the other fence is lying on the ground beside the garbage cans. Oh bother.
Our house is ice cold from the loss of power during the night. The power was out for most of yesterday, recovered in time for a few hours of evening entertainment (including Friday Night Lights), and then went out sometime in the night. My house alarm alerted me of low battery in the midst of it. Obviously, we have power and internet once more, but I wonder how long it will last.
I am tired, and cold, and sick….and I doubt that I will be doing that 12-14 mile run that I had planned. Call me a wimp, if you will. I won’t deny it.
That was some hellacious weather yesterday, non?
Not running 12 – 14 miles when sick does not a wimp make. Enjoy a day of recuperation and hot tea!
Being sick excuses you. Running that far not feeling good would be foolish, so rather than being a weather wimp, you are being a wise woman.
I read about your bad weather this morning – yikes! We’ve had some of that this year, it’s no fun. Lewis County is still digging out. Stay warm and get well!
Friday Night Lights – now that is a classic, the official state film of Texas!
I ran in 28 degree weather while it was snowing on New Year’s Day. Indiana sucks.
I’ve only lived half my life here (the other half in Ohio) and I’m officially a weather wimp too.
I lucked out this a.m. I set the alarm and woke to no rain so I had to go run.
You will never be a wimp. Let’s not ever say that being smart is equivalent to being a wimp. OK? Now, where did I put my blanky? ;-)
Even my animals are wimps. They try to edge each other out for floor space next to the heater. Call me a wimp, too. I wouldn’t trade living in CA for anything.
I was watching the Today show while running on the treadmill, and the weather guy says, “where ever you are in the US right now…Hawaii is warmer.” I nearly spit out my water.
We can start a wimp club, and I? I just wish I lived somewhere nice I always state that if I lived somewhere else I’d be more inclined to drag my butt from the bed and run because it wasn’t raining or windy..but it may just be me..move over in the bed I’m climbing in.
I think the whole ‘wimp’ thing is relative…sure it’s blizzarding and -7 degrees in Maine, but that’s why I DON’T LIVE IN MAINE.
This weather was crazy, it was pouring and it was COLD by my standards (anything below 55) so it’s okay to stay in bed! Glady you had a relaxing weekend and I hope you were able to get out the door in time this morning!
