I’ve decided I like winter better.
In the winter I can wear flannel lined jeans and turtlenecks and big bulky sweaters and no one wonders what’s under all of these clothes. They just take it for granted that all the lumps and bumps are long underwear or some sort of layering for keeping warm.
If I’m having a bad hair day, I just pull a winter hat over my head. No one questions me about my big old Cat in the Hat cap, they figure I’m trying to keep my ears warm.
But in the summer, when it’s 90 degrees there isn’t much you can do to hide the sins of the supper table. They just sort of hang out there for all to see. Not to mention varicose veins, flapping middle aged arms and the notorious chicken neck!
And the hair? Yes, aside from just chopping it all off there is no place to hide that either. I have short hair anyway, so a baseball cap leaves it sticking out like Bozo the clown!
In the winter it’s so much easier to have good days, and if by chance I’m not, I can at least fool my mirror, and myself and hopefully most people I know with vision disabilities.
Ooooooo lordie – how right you are, MB! I can definitely relate to all of this. In spite of how depressing it is, you manage to give it a humorous spin! — thanks for that.

Amen to this! I definitely like winter better for all the reasons you’ve listed above. Plus, winter fashion just seems so much cuter with all the layering.
I don’t like having to wear all the clothes, but it is so nice that all those lumps are hidden. Can’t they just go away!!!!
