so tired

I was out late Saturday. Then I got a normal amount of sleep every night thereafter. I was so tired on Monday! My eyes hurt. Better on Tuesday. Today I felt like I was back to normal, but now I feel it again. I think the feeling has a lot to do with my glasses. I need a new pair, since the prescription is two years old. The lenses also have some surface crazing. So I think that causes my eyes to ache a bit. Also, they've been very dry this week. Funny, when I was at the optometrist a couple of weeks ago, he asked if my eyes had been dry, and I told him no.

winter

I'm really not liking this winter. We'd have super cold temps. Then we'd finally get snow. Then it would immediately warm up and melt all the snow. Then we'd have super cold temps again with bare ground. That's brutal on the plants. It's supposed to go the other way around. Warm, then snow, then cold. Though I'd prefer it was cold enough all winter to keep the snow.

Snow is the only reason to even have cold. I like having snow on the ground. When it's warm everything is drab and muddy. When it's cold without snow, everything is drab and unpleasant. With snow on the ground, everything is bright sunny white. Not too long ago we had snow on the ground for a week, and the temps were in the twenties. I felt like everything was right. Then it rained and the snow all melted. Now we have flooding. And everything is going to be muddy for weeks.

There was one good thing about this weird winter. The snow was always light and fluffy. I never had any trouble shoveling it.
