Falling Down…
As much as I bitch about wintertime, it’s really a lovely period of time – the low point of the year.
And low points aren’t always bad things – in fact, sometimes they can be essential things – times for you to take a gander at the bottom of the barrell and remind yourself just how badly you NEVER want to be there again.
Thankfully, my moodiness isn’t going TOO overboard – I’ve had some lovely swings (and I think it’s more lack of sunshine than lack of heat), but a few deep breaths and a call to a friend, and I’ll regain most of my equilibrium.
Work is still – murph, and home is still fabulous – we haven’t done anything new, lately, though it DOES seem to be a sudden struggle to keep the place clean. Hrm, that might be some of the seasonal moodies, too.
I’ve challenged for Second Realm, and passed – those classes start Jan. 3, and I’m really looking forward to them. It’s going to be all women this go around, so that will be – interesting – to say the least.
*picks up rock and looks under it*
Hrm. What else? Things are – boring. *laugh* I’m amazed that the year is almost over – it’s gone by so quickly! I’m going to be 31 in 34 days, and that amuses me to no end – I’m not sure why. I’ve felt like I’ve gotten YOUNGER this year, somehow – I’m not sure why, but I am looking forward to the holiday.
I’m almost vested at work – 3 more months!
I’m making friends! There is a lovely lady that I know online, and we’ve spent time hanging out – she had a darling little girl on Sunday though, so I suspect our hanging out time will be cut a little short for a while – but she seems really cool, and I think our husbands will get along, as well.
It’s cold in the office.
And I think I’m done.
*waves to all*
good to hear from you….

Here in Southern California, it’s sunny almost the entire winter, but in May and June we get the “Marine Layer” (think: fog and low-lying clouds), and I’ve found that I really get frustrated and moody when they close in. I used to get cabin fever a lot in the east when it was just too damn cold to go out in the winter, regardless of the sun.

I like your theory about low times not being a bad thing.

Hooray for winter, being vested, friends, and nifty houses. Not necessarily in that order, but still.

I’ve seriously thought about investing in one of those lights. My best friend swears I have that seasonal disorder. It might be worth the $$$. Hope you’re feeling better. Congrats on being vested. Its a good feeling.

I’m just starting to get back on track reading & noting all my faves after having Nova- it’s been 6 weeks so give your friend a month or two and I’m sure she’ll be available again 🙂
