It's that damn time of the year again...

I really hate this time of year. Really. Hate.

It's cold, and it hasn't been that long since it was warm so that those nice sunny days that you could run around outside without dressing for Antarctica are still fresh in your memory and taunting you like football jocks rag on the fat computer geek. More so, it's dark. It gets dark ridiculously early, and stays dark until well after you've got out of bed in the morning. Your sleep cycles get marvelously screwed, and you start to wonder if bears don't have the right idea by sleeping through the winter. Then you briefly consider becoming a migratory bird, but remember that you have a job (not complaining about the job- might not have to go back down to Baltimore, so really happy about that). And between the cold (which, somehow is ENTIRELY WITHOUT SNOW!) and the dark, there's not much you can do except sit in your house and knit and try and battle the thermal curtains and watch your gas bill rise and slowly go completely frakking INSANE!

Gragh... roll on January.

You forgot that you can also drink hot chocolate and tea. :)

Bears do have the right idea. Let's all curl up in our dens and emerge next spring.

totally agree

this time of year is depressing. I'm not even too up on the holidays, being an atheist and all. If you get in the mood, shoot me a message here or at velkyn_at_comcast.net and we can meet for beer at ABC in Harrisburg.

BTW, a great winter drink, rum in hot spiced cider with a touch of butter in it. And also cocoa lava, take a package of cook and serve chocolate pudding, put twice as much milk in as called for, cook til thickened and then add some liquor of your choice. Yummm.
