I am so, so glad I am not alone, because I kid you not, everyone I work with is all YAY THE HOT DAYS ARE HERE! And all of our patients just natter on about the weather and how much they are sick of the "inclement" weather and how happy they are for the sun and the heat and I'm like 1) you understand you live in Calgary, right?; and b) I cannot keep nodding and smiling with you! And if I disagree, they look at me as if I just admitted that I like to put puppies in wood chippers.

I survive best from mid-September to mid-June. I really do get significantly more depressed in July and August.

The only weird part is that my favourite way to dress is in skirts. Really difficult to do in winter, especially when one doesn't own a car to get around.
