I miss winter.... there I said it.

Hey Mom!

Spring is finally here! Want to know how I know that? It's 2am and my lungs are on fire.  Spring is my fifth favourite season , the order goes winter, summer, winter, fall and then spring. But why? Spring is budding with new life and hope.  It is a symbol of rebirth and renewal. How could you possibly hate spring?  Well every year without fail spring has tried to kill me.  At first I thought it was a frenemies situation because let's be honest, the dandelion fuzz was cute.  But then came the poplar fluff and the snow mould and the street cleaners.  I have tried several times to forge an alliance with Jack Frost but he won't return my calls and has blocked me on Facebook.  I see how it is Jack, just because I dress appropriately for the weather which prevents any nose nipping that might occur you act like I don't exist. Quite frankly, it's rude and a little insensitive.

And to make matters worse, Spring and I don't have anything in common.  Spring is friends with flora  and fauna and I am friends with concrete and indoors.  Spring likes gardening and sunshine.  I like spreadsheets and sunscreen.  I just don't how we are going to make this work.

... What? No I am not crying, my eyes and nose are just running.  Believe it or not there is a difference.    Sure both usually entail a blotchy swollen face and if I am stressed enough I even get hives in both instances (lucky me).  Wait is there a difference? Ok now I am crying.  Salty droplets of bittersweetness, knowing that summer is coming but first I have to endure that which seeks to destroy me.

That is all.
