meg is sick? time for a weather warning!

Filed under: stuff — meg @ 10:43 am

Seriously.

I haven’t even had time to buy warm shoes, and my only coat that’s useful prior to -10 C (I do own a down coat, partly because I used to live on the prairies, and partly because I always wanted to look like the Michelin Man) is a slightly ripped and ineffectual GoreTex thing from the MEC 1997 collection.

Granted, I’ve had other coats. I just don’t know where they went.

And I think I broke them, regardless.

Where do broken coats go? Can they find their way home?

Anyway.

We have a wind warning here in magical Vancouver, and it’s already been raining wee, chilly drops of anger for hours.

I find that the weather tends to go all CHICAGO IN NOVEMBER whenever I’m sick or about to be sick or trying to recover from being sick. And I don’t mean that it rains, because if I was sick every time it rained here, I’d be dead.

No, it just gets SUPER ICK every time I am prone to chills or a rattling chestal region.

So to you, Weather of Vancouver (which sounds like an indie band as yet unsigned), I say this:

HEY.

KEEP IT DOWN OUT THERE.

    I kind of hope the power goes out so I can go home early from work. Then it’s a free day of cozying up next to the fire with a cat to two. But, alas. The power is still on and I’m still at work.

    This weather sucks. The rain, the cold, etc.

    I was planning on dressing somewhat chic and sophisticated. To hell with that! I am gonna put on jeans and t shirt and lots of sweaters.

    Hope you get well soon Meg. It happens to me all the time (cold weather + sickness). I just don’t wanna jinx it right now.

    I gotta say…I’m not a huge fan of walking in the wind. In fact, it’s downright frustrating. But I am so in love with rainy days. They’re the best!
