"Blow wind blow"

How long can the wind blow!? I've noticed that it is getting to me....physically, mentally...I grit my teeth before going outside, wincing to keep the annoying air particles from getting in my eyes. My feet have been slammed twice by the car door while putting the kids in the car. Outdoor tasks have been put off and neglected because of the nuisance. I might as well be snowed in. I find my shoulders creeping up to my ears because the wind constantly raps and pushes against the windows. My neck is tight. My hair and all it's dignity blows away the instant the outdoors and I meet. Instead of savoring the quiet evenings, I'm left with irritation and am wound uplike a top. I'm tired. I lay at night with my eyes fully open and my ears continually being startled with noises and howls. Anything that was in somewhat order is in full disarray outside. The trash cans and garbage that once occupied them, the tumbleweeds, chairs uplifted, tables moved, porch rockers walking. The dogs feel it too; they pause a little too long before plunging out the door. I've been fighting an endless battle the last few days. Enough already. I guess everyone experiences the need to blow once in awhile.
