five random things I hate about winter

floatingleaf1) The cold.
2) Having to get up when it's still dark.
3) Leaving work when it's already dark.
4) Having to sit in my old rickety car shivering and waiting for the engine to warm up before I can start driving.
5) Being unable to stop my entire upper body from tensing up when I'm outside, because I fucking HATE the cold and have this unsurmountable urge to lift my shoulders and press my chin to my chest (and before you ask - yes, I always wear a scarf). As a result of this, the back of my neck hurts like hell, even though I laid down for an hour with a heating pad and THEN exercised. I feel like those muscles are never going to relax again.:/
And the above list doesn't even include removing snow from the car or driving on ice/sleet/snow-covered pavements, because those particular pleasures haven't really started yet. It's going to get much, much worse, and I already feel like I've had enough. My family obviously picked the wrong spot on the map when they decided to emigrate. *sigh*
