The day after the storm

The day after the storm, a real storm. And I'm talking about the kind of storm which goes on outside, the weather. It's terrible, awful, cold, freezing, filled with snow, ice cold. I truly dislike this kind of winter.

During last night the wind together with the falling snow has filled every last bit of our paths made from the door onwards. When you look from the window, it seems like no-one has been walking in the snow for quite some time. Horrible! Our small dogs have trouble making their way on our yard, and you couldn't even think about taking a stroll in the forest. You would have to have some kind of survival kit with you in order to proceed. It has been many years since last it has been this much snow during the winter. Can't say I wait for the spring, what happens when it gets a bit warmer? The snow begin to melt, and every place is filled with puddles, mud and dirty dogs, who jump directly on the bed. That means we have to wash the dogs frequently, and with my condition it isn't a simple procedure.

For the past couple of nights, I've slept very poorly. I wake up again every few hours, and the bed is getting more and more uncomfortable with each passing night. Thanks to the ... Olympics, I had to sleep in my daughter's bed for one night, because the ice hockey game started at 7 AM, and the noiselevel during the games is something else than quiet. The only thing we get to watch from tv is skiing, skijumping, half-pipe, ice hockey etc. I really do not care about sports. Not the very least. Not even a bit. Wuhuu, Finland got a medal. I am not intrested about why the finnish skiers have to discontinue their race. It would be the same for me if there would be no Finnish Olympics team, the money the government spend with these athletes would be better spent with for example hiring teachers to schools or paying for nurses salaries. If there are 20 athletes in this group, you could hire 40 helping hands to hospitals or nursing homes. But it is much greater to have an athlete compete with others than to take care of the elderly, children or sick people. That's money well spent!

My negativity is high today, due to the fact I'm tired, every place is aching again and I hate this winter. I want to go someplace sunny, but this is not a possibility. Not even a remote chance. Maybe it would be best for me to go back to bed and hope for a better day tomorrow.
