Cabin Fever

Growing up with parents from Minnesota where it snows a lot, I had always heard the term "cabin fever".  Raised in California, where the climate was mild, we didn't have to deal with any kind of cabin fever ... unless I was on restriction for doing something wrong!!  lol

When I was 40, I lived in Ohio, with six kids, and yes, we had our share of cabin fever!  There weren't enough rooms for all of us to escape from each other!

Once I moved to Arizona, I thought my days of cabin fever were over. But we have our own version each year in the summer, caused by the heat. When I am stuck indoors for long stretches I dream up all kinds of projects to tackle once the heat is done.  Most of the time, I can let go of the dreams.  But sometimes I get urges to paint or tackle some other kind of home repair.

With online shopping, though, I can sit indoors and start my Christmas shopping!   At least it's accomplishing something!!
