Stream of Consciousness - February 5, 2012

We are heavily entrenched in the paperwork right now. I've got kids who have term papers due, projects to create and applications for schools for next year, and all of this extra work has me in a funk.

It's cold. It's no longer 70 degrees - which was a total fluke anyway, but it was still superb - and now it's rainy. One of my kids was up most all of last night with tummy bugs and I'm exhausted.

I missed National Delurker day, which makes me unbelievably cross with myself, although it's really stupid to be upset by this.

I think it's all just seasonal. February is often the worst month of the year for me. It's cold, I am TOTALLY unmotivated to exercise - especially now that I've lost my ability to train boxing every day - and all I want to do is sleep. And eat. Neither of which bode well for my figure.

Blerg. Tonight, we have a SUPER BOWL PARTY - which should be good for the enjoyment.

February is my worst month as well. I'm already tired of winter, although ours hasn't been bad, and work is so monotonous. It's hard to get "good" daylight into my system when I'm tucked away in a windowless environment for most of the day. Although I dread the early mornings, I can't wait for the time change. Same issues with food,also.

Delurking to make you feel better!

February is a terrible month. My mom always freely admitted how much she hated it, but she came up with two things to make it a bit better. 1. It's the shortest month of the year, so at least it's over quickly! 2. Celebrate Valentines Day, put up some decorations, etc. The colors are bright and cheerful and who can argue with a holiday about love? We always celebrated it in my house. Maybe those tips will help you get through.

I like February because it means the Chicago winter is almost over (almost)

December and January had their high and low points. February seems to be okay because I have some things to look forward to, if I ever get rid of this stupid cough.
