I have to admit, I’ve never understood why people get bummed out in February. I’ve always had a couple of good reasons to like it: Valentine’s Day, and my Birthday.
But now that I’m living in a much more northern locale, I can completely understand how it can be a bummer of a month. Its dark outside when I’m leaving work, its dark outside when I’m waking up for work. And even when it is sunny and bright outside, it’s frosty as hell and sometimes pretty miserable to bear. Add in the constant worry about “the economy,” and the fact that we are living in a really expensive city on one salary right now…. well, bummer.
I don’t want to be bummed out, so I’m trying to focus on the good stuff I’ve been enjoying lately:
Deadwood on DVD
Coraline by Neil Gaiman
The insanely adorable acts committed on a daily basis by Henry:
Maxxin and Relaxxin by the Heater
Hanging Out on the Stairs with Joey
And knitting slowly and leisurely on the first sleeve of Thermal:
Love Is All You Knit
