Oh, Look! It's Spring!

Winter, in all of its glory, seems to be over. For now. All told, it lasted approximately one week. Two days hit lower than thirty degrees, and Eastern North Carolina all but screeched to a halt.

Mother Nature apparently took notice. After two short days of FREEZING COLD, temperatures have risen to an average of 60-70 degrees. Oddly, I hate it.

My body re-sets itself periodically. I tend toward bedtimes of 9-10 pm during winter, almost as if going into hibernation myself. I like this time, where I crawl under covers and sleep untold hours in the pitch black of winter.

The early "thaw" of winter has sped up this reset, and my inner clock is off. Off, in fact, by approximately 2.5 hours. I am now waking up at three a.m.

This is not a wink open, note the time, turn and snore kind of wake up. This is a throw your feet off the side of the bed, grab a mug of coffee and start your day! kind of wake up.

It is incredibly frustrating, and I am getting grumpy.

So grumpy, in fact, that when the Annoying Salesperson asked me a (smug, condescending 'trap') question yesterday, I kind of snapped. I turned, snarling, and growled, "I don't know why you bother to ask me these things. I have boobs. People with boobs don't give you answers you like. Why not just skip the exercise and do whatever you please? It's what you'll do anyway. Save some energy man, and do whatever the heck you want." I then spun back around in my chair and continued to work, while Annoying Salesperson gasped and Big Boss snickered.

I don't know what the outcome was, as I left soon after.

Something has GOT to change, and soon.
