It’s bad enough to have to fight a daily battle with pain
and fatigue, but with winter I have to consider the weather, too. It’s very
disheartening to want to go or do something, only to be put off because of the
threat of rain or snow.
I have become such a chicken-shit driver in bad weather. It
started a few years ago, along with my extreme nervousness at driving in the
dark. As we got deeper into fall and then had the time change, I saw my
excursions out being limited, like I had a curfew to be home by sunset.
My lunch dates with my friend and my brother get put on
hold, unless it looks clear, and I mean clear like that phrase on the weather
report that says “No precipitation expected within the next 24 hours”. And even
then it’s a rush to get home or at least close to home before dark.
Right now, we’ve hit a bit of a mild spell and I need to get
the last of my Christmas shopping done. The days are counting down, and time is
running out.
