Vitamin Deficiency

Yesterday was the "hottest day of the year" so far.  It was 72° when I drove home from work.  The windows were rolled down and the sky was blue.  It was lovely.

When I got home, The Boy was the golf course, of course.  So i knew that I had a few hours to fend for myself.  I rolled up my pant legs, and shirt sleeves and put on my headphones on and went out to the front porch to sit in the sunshine while listening to my iPod.  It felt so good.

I'm not sure how long I sat there.  I was on the verge of falling asleep, sitting up, leaning into the door jamb when my neighbors across the cul-de-sac yelled over to me, teasing me not to get sun burned on the first day out in the spring sun.  Oh, I wish.

I came inside when I realized that I was nearly falling asleep, and laid down for a moment on the front room couch.  Forty minutes later, and with BAD couch hair, I woke up.  I never nap in the afternoon.  How long was I outside in the sun?!  The warmth sucked all the energy out of me.  But the little nap revived me for making dinner and getting ready to do it all over again.

Sadly, the sunshine was a one-say-only-show.  We are back to rain and even snow today.  But the 72° day is simply a promise of springtime weather yet to come.  I just wish it would transition already.  I'm anxious to feel the sun on my face and add some color to me arms and legs.
