spring training.

I haven't been to Florida for spring training since 2011.  I rarely watch baseball anymore.  My friends mock me for my lack of interest in the sport that used to be a huge part of my life.  It's not that I don't like baseball.  All that energy and interest I had put in baseball, it has been put into raising my son.  Eventually I would like to have something left to put toward baseball but right now, I just can't. 

This morning I looked out the window and saw that it had snowed last night.  A lot.  I almost cried.  I didn't know it was supposed to snow so I was not prepared.  I am done with winter.  The other day I was so done with winter that I looked for affordable flights to Florida for spring training.  I remembered how I used to feel at this time of year.  So done with winter but it was okay because I would be sitting in the sun watching the Detroit Tigers soon.  Right now I am so done with winter but I am too poor to afford two $400 plane tickets and hotel and baseball tickets and all the other stuff that goes along with a quick trip to anywhere. 

Winter is killing me.

Even though I don't have much time for baseball anymore, I have already made the decision to go to spring training next year.  If we have another crazy cold and snowy winter, I don't know how I will survive without knowing there will be a break from it, even it's just for a weekend.  For this year, we are planning a fun weekend with friends at a nice hotel with an indoor pool and a fancy restaurant/bar right in the hotel. 

Someday spring will be here.  Someday I'll give a shit about baseball again. 

Yep.
