Well, it's February 10th and it's still a freezing tundra here! I mean freezing. This morning the temperature was -14 degrees Fahrenheit and now it's "warmed" up to -6 degrees. That's been the norm here for months! Every year, seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D.) does have a little hold on me. I'm more lethargic and lifeless. But this year! Lord, hold on to the emotional roller coaster! The extent of exercise I get is running to my car or the main house to beat freezing to death and even that short distance leaves me winded! In exchange for exercising, it would seem my main activities are eating and drinking beer. That's a smart decision, right? But I honestly feel I can't do anything else. I'm short on patience, lacking productivity and not even finishing books. My greatest accomplishments have been snacking and looking at Pinterest. So what do we fellow cold climate dwelling people do to get us through the next two months?
I have NO idea. The best thing I've thought of is a quick weekend trip to anywhere warm. Charge that shit to a credit card and go. It's worth it, right? The warm air and sunshine would heal and allow me to go on for at least another month. Until then, I will plan another tasty dessert and proceed to eat half of it.
