Snow!

Monday 02nd February, 2009

I hate the snow. It looks pretty, it is an excuse to sit in front of the fire all day, but I do hate it. The reason is I have never learnt to drive in it and I am scared of slipping uncontrollably all over the place. I don’t think it is a good idea for me to be out on the road if I cannot drive in it, and so choose to either use public transport, walk, or stay locked in at home.

This has become rather a debilitating habit of mine, and one that I don’t think people understand! Just because they go out and cope does not mean I can. I feel totally out of my safety zone! Coupled with the fact that I have anxiety issues, the very idea of snow has turned me into an avid weather watcher! I search the Internet for weather web cams, information sites about traffic and road warnings, and I have installed a weather tool bar for my computer that gives me up to date weather reports hour by hour!

So what can I do about it? Nothing for the time being, I am sat in front of my fire, warm and cosy and I don’t intend moving unless I absolutely have to, thank you very much!
