"There are Stars in the Heavens That I'll Never Hold..."

Have been insomniac all week--ended up taking a snow walk at three in the morning last night because after a SLEEPING PILL I was still wide awake, which is really kind of sad. Suspect sympathetic psychosomatic condition relating to [livejournal.com profile] mhari's being so exhausted this month. Intend to protest.

Pine for all of you. Plz call and relieve me of my utter isolated isolation. Spent to-day cleaning entire house and vacuuming as well as sponging out the refrigerator; did schoolwork; read a book; listened to six CDs. Am pathetic also bored but generally in a very good frame of mind and laughing a great deal.

Sledded all the way down the hill across the road and halfway up the next hill, yesterday. Practically a religious experience. Beautiful.

no, it absolutely ISN'T fair. We're on the same latitude as Kodiak ALASKA, for heaven's sake. Perth is in this weird little microclimate all by itself--sometimes it snows two hundred feet further up and it doesn't snow here. You can always see snow on the mountains from our house. But we only get one or two storms a year, never more than about four inches, and it's always gone by the next day.

The winters here are just awful--dark and chill and wet. They have a word for it--"dreich." (actually, "flist" is also a scottish word describing a mixture of fog and mist)

Well, that is--that is just nefarious, for heaven's sake. I'm outraged. My Lord.

(So I shouldn't mentioned we'd accumulated about two feet all told so far this year.)

no, you shouldn't, you mean thing. it makes me insanely jealous! (although of course, I knew that, since I talked to my grandmother yesterday.)

Sorry! I am evil and terrible. (That would just about do it. What county does she live in?)

Lebanon, just on the border with Lancaster. She lives in Mt. Gretna.
