Georgia is my schizo cousin

So many people come to Georgia and talk about how great the weather is, how the seasons are so mild, etc. I beg to differ. As a native Georgian, can I just say, Georgia needs to be on some serious meds when it comes to the weather. Georgia has the most up and down all over the place weather of anywhere I can think of. It is impossible to buy, wear, or prepare clothes for a specific season. It can be beautiful at a crisp and clear 70 degrees when you go to sleep, only to wake up to 13 degrees and snow. Georgia is that crazy cousin that promises they're doing better this time and then steals your T.V. while you're sleeping.

Shopping for clothes is a nightmare in Georgia. It is only practical to buy as may options as possible of any one thing; Like the color on that shirt? Better get it in long sleeve, short sleeve, a sweater, a tank top, and throw in a jacket just in case. Layers are the only way to live in Georgia and be somewhat comfortable. I can't even count how many times I have come home from work to the words, "Did you change before you came home?" No, I didn't. I just shred, added, whittled down, and built up clothes, over and over and over again. If you don't wear 4 shirts, tights, jeans, a hat, and a scarf during the winter, all removable mind you, you will either end up freezing or sweating.

Don't get me started on summer. Sweltering heat and humidity one day, crisp breeze 70 degrees and sunny another. Shorts and halter top or a nice tee and jeans, who knows what Georgia will throw my way today. I swear I could walk out of the house in a bathing suit in the morning and come home in a parka by the afternoon, only to whittle down to a skirt and tank top by nightfall.

Come on Georgia, use that medicare card and get to the doctor! I need consistency! I want to know it's cold in the winter, hot in the summer, breezy and crisp in autumn, and pretty and damp in the spring. I beg of you take your meds Georgia! I can't afford for your mood swings anymore!
