and it's winter.

OK. I know you will hear this at least 10,000 more times before March, but I. HATE. WINTER. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it with the fire and passion of a thousand suns. I hate my winter clothes and I hate how dry it is (even with two humidifiers and cups of water on every radiator in the house), I hate taking a cab because it's too cold to walk 8 blocks, I hate putting on 4 layers of bulky clothes every time I walk outside and stripping them off every time I walk inside. I hate red noses and wind-burned cheeks and losing one of my gloves and not being able to sit in the park and wearing the same pair of boots for 4 months because they're the only ones I don't mind getting salty from the sidewalks. Oh, and also, when your nose is so cold that you can't feel the inevitable snot running out of it, because I get bronchitus EVERY YEAR. Oh yeah. That's the best.

Whew! I kinda feel better. ;-) I'm procrastinating right now. NOT completing a necessary task that will force me to introspect. I'd rather get on the couch and watch "White Christmas." But I must, so here I am, not doing it. *g*

I always forget to read the comments, but I just saw yours, Bubbly, from the other night (when I was alone but not lonely). Thanks- that really means the world to me. Especially since tonight, I *am* lonely. Even though I had plans and bailed on them of my own accord. It's lonely and still and quiet in here, and I want to escape but I need to focus.

Send me focus vibes!!
