Cabin Fever

This is an ice-covered tree in my front yard.  Beautiful, but I’m ready for it to go away.  Now.  Not tomorrow, maybe.  But now. 

But it won’t and so I have to put on lots of layers and drive my car to Super Valu for groceries and Putter needs ear drops for an ear infection before she drives me nuts shaking her head and scratching at her ears.  Poor baby. 

I’ve been home for two days because of the ice.  I guess it’s about time I ventured out other than walking the dogs every few hours. 

The icy grass is stressing Dogs, and they’re really missing their daily exercise walks and chasing the squirrels on the golf course. 

And I haven’t seen a squirrel since Monday morning when the ice storm hit.  So Dogs are ready for the ice to go away now too.  Not tomorrow, but now.  It’s hard to explain to them that won’t happen.  It’s hard for me to understand it too.  At least I have heat and electricity, unlike others around town.  And poor Metropolis and Livingston County residents.  I think they all want it to go away now too.  Now.  Please!
