Come On Out, The Dark Is Just Beginning

First of all, Happy 70th Birthday to Mr. Robert Zimmerman. We are all better, and more musical, and more aware because you are here on Earth.

Second, the Hold Steady do a fantastic cover of this song.

Third, the list of things I should be doing right now is a mile long, and my head is betraying me with sneezing. I may "try" and "multitask" by reading in bed. The success rate of that will be limited, I'm sure, but I'll at least make the attempt.

Seasonal Affective Disorder

It's one of those Mays that doesn't believe it's spring. It's been dreary, and drizzly, and cold for days on end now. We had a brief respite yesterday, enough to make today's return to the gloom twice as hard to stomach. The sun is trying valiantly to peek out right now, but it will be gone again soon.

The weather is definitely affecting my mood. Melancholy, and unsettled. I just want to curl up on the couch and nap, and wake up again when it's 75 and sunny. I have yoga to look forward to, and the Red Sox/Cubs with Christopher after that, but at this moment, all I feel is the gloom and the chill. Come on spring, arrive already.

And I Just Think I'll Retire

It's past 11:00, and I'm just rolling home. I wish I could say it were for a good reason, but it's been a long day of obligations, and minor dramas, and troubling information.

Hoping tomorrow is better, and brings some joy. This week has been a long road, and I'd really like it to be over.

So, I'm near the end, and I just think I'll retire. And I'm wasted, and I can't find my way home...

Where Is My Mind?

Seriously, where is it? I should be working, but instead, I'm already in my pj's, under a blanket on my couch, zoning out to the tv and scrabulous. I am wiped out, and weary, and anxious about everything.

I'm sure it will pass; I'm just not having a good couple of days.
