Weather like what we had today and yesterday can really get me down. Snow can be quite beautiful and pretty but sleet? Well, I've never heard anyone really espouse the merits of freezing rain.
It's usually at this time of the year, around the 6th-8th major snowstorm, that I end up getting into my annual anti-social rut. This rut usually involves me wandering around, taking stock of everything, and generally not wanting to deal with anyone at all. All told, it usually takes about 2-3 weeks for me to work through it. Also it's at this time every year where I remind myself that I should really try to move back to the West Coast where it was nice and warm.
However, this year I find that I'm a bit calmer, less moody, and more stoic about the weather. Perhaps it's because the winter has been mild (in comparison to the past few winters *crosses fingers*) or perhaps it's because I'm taking the time to be more social this year.But I think, in all probability, that the reason why things are different this year is because I have hope.
I have hope that things will be better in the upcoming weeks and whenever Spring finally shows up.
I guess that's what being in a healthy relationship can do to a person.
*grins*
Still, the thought of moving back to California IS tempting... maybe I should kidnap my partner and take her away for a week long trip.
