Spring- Squiddy Geiger - April 27, 2012

Yes, it's that time of year again. Spring. You know, the season everyone anticipates all winter, certain it will end their Winter Blues. The time housekeepers wait for so they can clean house, as if doing it daily isn't enough. The time when thoughts supposedly turn to romance and... other things.

Until, of course, reality sets in and the weather turns foul, and you get a month straight of overcast and rain. You know the sun is up there somewhere, you just can't see it. You vaguely remember it as round and warm, but see no evidence of its existence.

It's cold as hell in the morning when you leave for work, so you dress warmly. You wish for warmth but it never seems to arrive. The cold and rain drags on, and soon you're feeling more depressed than in the deepest darkest days of winter

And just when you think you can bear it no more, at last, the sun appears, and like magic, your mood lifts, and the world is right again. The sun shines, flowers blossom, your neighbours get rowdy on the balcony, and the world is as it should be.
