In January my clock winds down
The wheels fall off
Bed seems like a good place to stay.
Winter’s charms have become stale
Rationed sunshine never stretches far enough
The week seems like one endless dark day.
Everything smells like thawed out dirt
The weather is mostly cold and bleak
Ground, sky, buildings, cars all dingy and grey.
It’s rough, but adequate. I feel very unmotivated and gloomy these days.Tomorrow is “Blue Monday”, the most depressing day of the year.
January is a gloomy month. The only holiday it has is at the very beginning, and it’s not a big day for celebrating (more like recovering), and we know that there aren’t any more holidays until March or April.
I made my birthday into an extended weekend. We’re taking Thursday, Friday, and Monday off. We’re planning on going to the Vancouver Motorcycle Show on Friday. I haven’t been in a few years. For once I’m interested in something besides just sportbikes. I want to have a look at dirtbikes, since my Mom’s new cabin is in excellent dirtbiking country.

Oh for heck’s sakes — Happy Belated Birthday! Hope you made it through Blue Monday okay. :)

You didn’t miss it, it’s not until Thursday.
And it was a blue Monday indeed; a bridge burnt down and our commute is going to take an hour longer (at least) each way until it’s fixed :( Bah.
