Spring fever is not a myth. I can vouch for it because I am really suffering from it right now. Truly, madly and deeply; (even scientists and doctors have confirmed it is a very real syndrome by the way, its not just t-cat making excuses for my normal eccentricities and follies)
Spring fever is a kind of craziness; a madness that gets into your soul after a long winter. Finally one gets a little bit of exposure to sunlight (and maybe a few daffodil particles) and it sends the mind and body nutty; sobriety and common sense give way to lunacy and fanciful ideas. Life’s too short to always be logistical and sensible anyway, don’t you think?
I have the occasional slight headache, (more irritating than painful), a little bit of dizziness and a lot of hyperactivity. It is like being punch drunk and feeling merry and off beat. Add in crazy bursts of energy where you just want to hang from the rafters and swing from the chandeliers (I hope our landlord is not reading this), an added friskiness and there you have spring fever!
How long will it last I wonder?????? Do I have to wait until summer's arrival to be tranquilized, or will I calm down again before June? I will keep you posted

Spring madness: the time to feel alive, to fall in love, to scent the air has arrived, making you feel dizzy and excited, the announced time to revive, to shyly crawl out from the long winter hibernation, time to renew oneself, to reinvent oneself and to feel alive again.
ReplyDeleteIs the time to feel optimistic, full of energy, to make plans, to conquer the terraces, to visit around, to meet with friends, to leave behind the heavy winter clothes, to feel light and delighted.
The refreshing prelude to the summer splendor.
The curious cat that needs to sneak out and discover the world.

ReplyDeleteMy dear T-cat, I thought might be interested in the following text ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat is the origin of the term March Madness?
March mad is an obsolete term meaning 'being
mad as a March hare' since during March (the breeding season) hares are wilder than at other times; hence the proverbial saying. The term March Madness was first used in 1963 in reference to humans. By 1991, it was used in the San Francisco Chronicle, "The nation is now in the middle of 'March madness', that time of year when the NCAA basketball tournament takes place."
