The Wintertime Blues
I'm feeling a bit low today, one of those listless, restless, slightly agitated feelings that you can't attach to any one event. I think it could be a number of factors all rolled together to create one big ball of dissatisfaction. It could be the gloomy winter sky, the dead profile of trees and faded straw like lawns. Brisk cold air does not feel refreshing--it feels harsh and bad tempered. My skin (despite copious applications of thick creams) looks and feels reptilian and as white as parchment. My ass seems so broad that you could rest a pizza on it...along with a six pack of beer. My clothes don't seem to fit me. I'm bored with cooking. With the writer's strike on, there's nothing good on television and I've watched every realty show that you can imagine. It's a chore to shave your legs every week. I'm sick of drinking tea. I can't concentrate to read. I'm close to wallowing in utter ennui. Or that's just how I'm feeling today here in the dead of a friendless winter.

Well, stop drinking tea and drink some good wine.
Start using "Curel" lotion.
Go rent the movie "Once".
One last thing.

That ought to snap you out of it.
:D
I felt the same way today! Except for the pizza and the six-pack.
Now that should make you feel better! hehehe
Ha! I liked morewines' response. I wonder if those light boxes actually work. I live in Seattle, I think that says it all.
Go to my blog and read about how I met Craig Ferguson! That'll lift your spirits.
No? Well, it lifted mine!
Awe, I'm sorry you're feeling kinda low. This type of year sucks. Luckily for me it's been in the 70's the past two days. What's up with that?
Yeah, I feel like shit too, and I have a fucking case of laryngitis, so no one hears me when I do whine. I hate dreary days and days that aren't normal for the season. As a matter of fact, I feel really pissed off right now. If I had one of those 'lights', I'd probably shove it up someone's ass.....(sorry for venting but I do feel better.)
I'll add to morewines list. If you can't take any more reality TV, go on nbc.com and watch as many episodes as you can of Friday Night Lights. It's a wonderful scripted show with great acting, and you don't even have to like high school football to like the show.
Sorry to steal the line from Frank Capra, but a man (OK, woman) is really is richer when he (she) has friends. I feel better already. Thanks for the cheer.
And Cakespy--I hear those boxes really do work.
They may work, but are they all so damn UGLY????
Hugs and kisses across the miles, CW!
