Stuck At Home Due to Storm. Talk to Me!
10 years ago
I'll be stuck at home tonight and tomorrow all day due to snow storm, possibly stuck Monday too. If anyone wants to chat let me know, since I'll be somewhat bored! I got Skype, AIM, and Yahoo. Skype preferred.
I know you're from the southwest and this weather is getting you down. Have you ever considered taking up a winter activity such as snowshoeing? Check into the local REI stores. They rent equipment (so you don't have to spend $100 up front on a good pair should you decide it's not for you) and could probably hook you up with someone/group to introduce you to snowshoe hiking. Properly layered clothing, a pair of snowshoes and you can get back out into nature despite 6 firetrucking feet (1.8m) of snow on the ground. It's one of the ways I normally cope with the winter weather, though I haven't been able to get out this year--just too exhausted all the time from all the shoveling...and too cold with the windchill. Hopefully, that will change next weekend when I hope to go visit a winter camporee. Yes, scouts up this way camp year-round (with proper gear). I don't have the gear anymore to spend the night outdoors, but I'll go visit during the day.
Hang tight. It can't go on forever. Spring will be here "soon". The "Flowers" have already come up once on my front lawn. (I hope the link works as you can't preview/edit after posting.)
