Oh teh Snows!

Now, I have to apologize in advance for my use of less constructive language in an effort to try and write something that is the truth. Haha, almost lied right there too! But the fact of the matter is that there is snow outside. You and I all know what that is. Unfortunately, my girlfriend, who happens to be in Hawaii for break does not quite understand what I mean when I say there's snow outside. This is where I aplogize for the first time. "I'm sorry for writing about you for my creative writing class. It was pretty funny though!"

Yeah, so I attempt to tell her over the course of a few phone calls and text:
"There's quite a bit of snow outside. Should I maybe trek over and take care of your driveway since your out of town, enjoying the sunshine while the rest of us freeze our asses off?"

"No, it'll be fine. You're probably still sick anyway."

Needless to say I don't really find a strong correlation between my health and the level of snow in their driveway, but I was never the greatest at math and science or is this a fallacy? Damn! Now pardon me for saying that maybe, just maybe, this wouldn't irk me so much if she wasn't away enjoying the sunshine and not being cold and having to come out to Eastern while other schools are closed, but no! She does not, so my pity and understanding flies out the window faster than you can say:

"Bah Humbug!" I've had to listen to this everyday at work and unfortunately for me, it didn't change our influx of crotchety or bitchy customers. Tis the season you know. Season for more snow too.

"Are you sure you guys don't need me to shovel? It's snowed a few more times since you've been gone."

"No, you're still sick, we'll be fine."

"You'll be buried in if I don't go and take care of it."

"We don't mind be buried in. Go get some rest."

I can't recall the rest of the conversation. Maybe it was the mindless amounts of swearing I did after I hung up the phone in an attempt to find the cameras that she was watching me through. Or maybe it was the squirrels. Damn! It's snowing again!

  1. Well, all you can do is try..... when she gets home, she will undoubtedly realize that you were not exaggerating. Maybe she thinks you are having snow dump delusions as a symptom of your illness?
