Oh Life----How I Wish it Was a Year Ago

This week is spring break and last year, I was in the beautiful St. Maarten with two of my best friends.  We were living in an amazing suite with it's own terrace, waking up to go to the beach and or spend the day by the pool, having family dinners, taking naps under huge umbrellas, and drinking Caribs and free bottles of wine.

I'm pretty sure these pictures are self explanatory, but basically we were walking holidays sharing many many laughs.  But imagine waking up to the first picture every day.  Sigh.

Being a summer child, I wish I was in the warm weather over this type of reality.

This year for "spring break" I get blood work taken, a boss who was a little upset that I didn't check with him about extra hours, an inflamed leg, and a blood clot that has not shrunk since this last ultrasound.  Oh, and windy-rainy weather that has been balancing between 20 to 40 degrees each day.  Plus, my jug of water that I have been drinking almost two a day, and the fact that I have given up candy bars....and all I want is some chocolate.

The first picture is the size of the water I have been drinking.  The second is one of the roads that leads to our house, although this picture was taken last year, this Monday the road was closed due to flooding.  Happens when we get a lot of rain and the rain plus snow melting is causing the massive floods.

Obviously we know who the real winner is.
