Finally I get a question where the answer is not obvious and that there can actually be more than one answer that applies. Of all the things I complain about in my life, I don’t really complain about the weather. I mean, I do sometimes if it means I cannot go out. Having said that, I’m not like everybody who complains that they hate driving in snow and hate winter in general….they hate shoveling, they always get stuck, ETC. Having said that, I have found myself complaining about this mainly because it results in the bus being later than normal and to be fair, I have gotten stuck in the snow before as well in my wheelchair. Despite that, I don’t mind winter especially since it means Christmas is right around the corner. Also since the weather doesn’t always cooperate, I get to have more days inside which I usually prefer nowadays anyway. I love sunny weather in the summer as I don’t have to wear heavy clothes or a coat to go outside and I get to ride around in my wheelchair more but better than that is the fact that it’s nice and warm and I simply do not like cold weather. As far as rain goes, I have a love hate relationship with it. I hate having to be outside when it pours but on the other hand, the sound of rain helps me sleep.
So despite me having some objections to weather, the fact is that it’s not the main thing I’ve complained about over the years, though I definitely have at least once or twice. I will say this though, the one aspect of weather I hate is any round of precipitation or a storm that results in power outages no matter how long they last. This is for the simple reason that I cannot function if there is one. For one thing, I cannot watch tv but more importantly than than that, I cannot use this site for movie reviews or anything else and I cannot forget the single most important aspect of having power….the ability to plug my phone in. There has been a lot of power outages since I’ve moved into my current house four years ago, (at the time of this writing.) Some of these lasted a few days, (an example of this would be the bad storm we had in May of 2022 which lasted six days,) while others lasted a few hours or even minutes. The point is that no matter how long it took for power to be restored, I was anxious because I had no freedom to do anything I normally would. I sat on my butt and waited rather impatiently for the power to come back on which in turn caused me numerous anxiety attacks due to the feeling of hopelessness that usually comes with having no power. This is the one aspect of weather I cannot handle. I’m not afraid of the dark but having no light is tremendously inconvenient. As long as the power stays on though, I really don’t care about the weather.
