The anticipation is horrid. Unlike in that movie, The Day After Tomorrow, cold doesn't roar and chase you.
You can't run away. Nope - that real, terrible chill that makes your lungs ache with each breath moves at a slow, yet unrelenting pace. It creeps up, its weight creaking on each step like the killer heading for your bedroom in a horror flick.
But there's nothing you can do - the only exit (a plane to Hawaii) is downstairs (not an option unless I want to get fired).The only viable reaction: burrow under your covers, squeeze your eyes shut, and hope it goes away. Knowing it's coming, that something monstrous is about to slide through your door, casting a long, ominous shadow, sealing your doom.
I hate this part of the winter. So. Much. (Though I think I'd cope if I could hide out in the New York Public Library with Jake Gyllenhal.)
At least the days are getting longer. I must admit, February is the dreariest month for me. Thank goodness it's only 28 days long.
