Winter Blahs

I’m not that nice today. I can at least pretend to be nice for a while, but today, all bets are off.

It really hasn’t helped that today has slowly dragged on, that I feel like I am drowning in all the work I have yet to complete, that I plan on punching more than one person in the face, the fact that I am filled to the rafters with unfamiliar self doubt or that today just happens to be six months until my dreaded 28th birthday.

But let’s not wallow in self pity. No one wants to hang out with Debbie Downer. So let’s talk about some good things.

First of all, my car, my precious car, is being such a champ this winter. I have had my car for just over seven years now, and it strangely runs more efficiently in the winter than it does any other time of year. The colder the temperature outside, the happier my car is. The snow and below zero temperatures have restored my car’s power steering making my car once again able to turn on a dime, rather than a quarter or even toonie as my pre precipitation car struggled with. I know that the time is coming quickly that me and my motored friend will have to part ways. I am not looking forward to it.

Secondly, the pictures from Preference turned out fantastic! You can check them out here, here and here. I don’t really get the picture frames or the Price is Right-esque background, but they still look great.

Lastly, my Christmas shopping is finished! Hooray for me! It seemed pretty easy this year. Figured out months ago what I wanted to get everyone and bought everything before the Christmas rush. I have managed to avoid all of the dreaded Christmas chaos that I hate every year. I was too excited gave Jenny her present early, which just happened to be a new fish tank! Jenny has been talking about getting a fish since we lived in our old house. We still have yet to go to the pet store and pick out our new friends. But I think they will be the perfect addition to our house.

So please don’t think that everything is going wrong in my life. There is enough good to help sort of out weigh the bad. Perhaps tomorrow will be a better day. One can hope.

Good Luck. God, please speed.

As Always,
