Well, if you live in the Midwest like I do, you’re probably gearing up for the winter season. This will involve shutting down the gardens, making sure the storm windows are secure, and digging out the snow shovels from beneath all the junk in the garage. I won’t even get into car preparation. There are a ton of other things to be done (of course), but these are just a few.

Then you have to winterize your body. This goes beyond digging out the heavy jacket, boots, gloves and hats. Don’t know ‘bout you, but it generally takes a month or so for my body to adjust to the colder weather. Not sure if the body just gets used to the colder air or if my cellulite readjusts itself and becomes denser. Isn’t that a nasty thought? Anyway, it seems like after about a month, I really don’t have much of a problem with the cold weather. Either that or I’ve learned to ignore it.

Always had to wonder how the folks up in Canada or Alaska handle such biting cold, but I guess it’s the same as adjusting here in Wisconsin. Its all a matter of degrees — no pun intended. I have friends in Alaska who absolutely love it up there … despite the extreme temperatures.

Either way, the winter season is ‘pon us and all we can do is adjust, endure and wait for spring to come.
