Lovely day

It is beautiful outside today, and despite myself I can't help but want to go out, at least for a little while, and enjoy it. But I'm so tired of wearing hats and gloves and jackets and multiple layers, and the thought of being buried under all that when it's warm out is too much. It probably doesn't even matter--most likely it's like duct-taping your windows after the anthrax attacks. But you have one run-in with those things and you just can't help but want as much between you and them as possible. Every little bit helps, as they say.

Maybe I'll go out on the deck for a little while. That's safe enough.
