Ah, Northeast Ohio weather. It's bound to f'k with you - if you let it...and even if you don't. Where do I start? An early Summer day where the temperature is a cool 56 degrees? How about the near 80 degree day we had in February - the one that had some people so excited that they scrambled to find a pair of shorts to wear outside, in Cleveland...in f'king February. Then those same types of people bitched when the 80 degrees didn't last. F'king DUH...it's Cleveland and it's February. Did it not dawn on you that we're not supposed to have an 80 degree day in February? C'mon, man...seriously.
I'll admit that I feel a bit lazy today. High pollen counts and erratic weather...two things I'll point an accusing finger at on this early Summer day. One cup in on the coffee intake, I'm ready for another - because I'm not about to give in to the desire to be lazy on this, my lone day off this week. There are various and sundry chores that need done, more work on the outdoor space - which is actually much better to have at on a day that isn't sweltering hot.
I'm not sure why people want to bitch so much about our weather. If you can't move out of it, then move in it. That's my take on it. I may be a bit sluggish today, but I will move in it on this day. Weather, whether I like it or not, leather, tether/tie me a knot...words, sometimes I feel like a walking rhyming dictionary. Who am I kidding? - I feel like that pretty much all the time. At best, I have some minor theories as to why I'm like that, but I digress.
This weather, the high pollen count and anything else that wants to make less of this day will not succeed. I found myself hoping yesterday for exactly this kind of a day so that I could address some of the things around here that I want to accomplish, and those are things that I would easily put off in favor of a few miles on the bicycle, hell I may even decide to ride later...of course the rain will have to hold out, but now that my coffee has started to lift my mind out of the fog, there are good things to happen on this day. I'm happy to say that I've steered clear of the negative mind wash that I'm finding social media to be lately, while at the same time, I'll openly admit that I may actually use the blue and white to say "HEY, LOOK AT ME - I WROTE SOMETHING TODAY" - even a benevolent ego like mine sometimes hankers for attention.
Perhaps this is pointless drivel that I'm writing and even considering sharing, but the point is twofold; addressing/assessing the day and the need for me to chase down creativity at times. There you have it, my coffee thought ramblings for this morning. Peace, good people. Go forth and make some things wonderful on this day - and never mind the weather or the pollen count.
