Sideways

Well, if there's one thing a lady doesn't enjoy, it's being blown along sideways! All very well to take my stately morning walk, but now my lovely coat is all tousled and I feel all battered from being buffeted by the wind gusts. A lady doesn't appreciate having to constantly brace herself to keep from flying along like an ice skater -- and then when the wind drops, she staggers back like an overloaded weight-lifter. It's not as though one were pulling a sled in the Arctic or something -- this is Texas and it's in the 90s already, for doG's sake. One is entirely disconcerted and in need of many treats and a good nap. Alexandria out.
