Spring? I think not.

There has been a lot of talk of spring being on its way here in Idaho in the past two weeks. It has been warmer and a lot of snow has melted revealing smashed brown grass and mud. I like the warmer weather, but brown muck does not make me feel at all spring-ish; however, I know that spring IS coming, because I inexplicably break out in hives and swelling daily when the seasons change. If you're wondering, the bottoms of my feet are itching and slightly swollen at the present time. So, if you ever see me dragging my bare feet around the carpet, I am simply trying my best to satisfy the annoying itch that plagues my poor footsies. It is a difficult task for those who have not had the pleasure. You press your feet into the carpet and move around any way you can and as fast as you can to stop the itching, but if you press to hard or move to fast, your feet literally start to burn. Walking on swollen feet is almost as annoying. It is the constant feeling that something is stuck to the bottom of your foot and should be removed, but cannot be. My feet are not the only part of me that go through this. I frequently wake up with hives on my knees and or elbows. It all usually goes away in an hour or so and it is much more bearable than it has been in previous years and season changes, but it is a nuisance. Well the point of all this is to excuse myself from being too excited for spring to be on its way. Spring and summer are my favorite months, but brown muck and hives would bring anybody down.
