Signs you have cabin fever

A local publication I sometimes pick up at the grocery store had a humorous article "The Ten Signs of Cabin Fever".

Being that it's February here in NE Ohio, I surely could relate!

A few that made me laugh:

You learn to tell time by looking out the window. Gray sky is morning. Light gray sky is afternoon. Dark gray sky is evening.

You start to believe that "family togetherness" is greatly overrated.

Your mind starts to cloud over and you forget your child's name and your child is named after you.

You start to believe that Hell could freeze over.

When you look at yourself in the mirror in the morning, you bear an uncanny resemblance to Jack Nicholson in "The Shining".

I am sure some creative DUers can add to my list ......

You find your shorts and T shirts, then sigh and weep.

You open windows because you Just.Can't.Take.It.Anymore!

You start thinking, "Mosquitoes. They're not so bad."

You tell your dog "Stop nagging me about walkies or you're what's for din-din."

You talk to your African Violets and beg them for just one flower.

You don't mind resembling Jack Nicholson in The Shining. You begin to worry that you're becoming Nicholson in every film he's been in.
