The Daily News

The sun is returning and with it some measure of the small scrap of sanity I once had. It has been a long and difficult winter. I feel like Laura Ingalls Wilder, a pioneer who once suffered seven months of a non-stop blizzard with no supply trains able to get through.

How do we replenish ourselves after the 30th school-related virus is brought home, and the electricity bill is late again, and work is at times rewarding and at times a struggle to get through the day with your brain intact?

There is a health club across the street from my house that I have yet to visit, even though I have an active membership.

I have a physical therapy routine to perform every day to increase the warranty on all the metal in my back that I keep postponing.

I have skis that have not touched snow once this winter.

Whaddup with that!?!?

This winter was a bust for me. One long hibernation of body and soul. I need to go fishing and camping and take a nice long vacation. That's how to refuel.

I don't think the supply train is going to make it here in time for winter, but it should pull into the station come springtime. I can hold out till then.
