Today is the 25th of January and I’m just now getting around to the first post of the year. I suck.

It’s January. Winter. I hate it. Short Gray days. Cold that doesn’t let up. And maybe it’s all in my head, but it seems colder than usual this year. It’s like a stain that spreads through everything else.

Everything I do, seems to be bleached out by this. It makes me so fucking tired.

This happens every year, and by the end of January it seems unbearable. I know from 30 some odd year of experience that as February comes and goes that the days will get longer, the cold spells will get shorter and further apart. And that things will start look better.

I know this, but it seems a lifetime away.

In the meantime, I have a project looming. I feel like I haven’t done anything but work in weeks. Between the cold and dark; and the work that I do that seems to be completely unappreciated… it’s almost too much bear.

I’m a problem solver.  It’s what I do for a living and it is the approach I take to life.  But when I feel like this, I don’t know how to solve it.  And that makes me feel helpless.

So that’s me at the end of January.  Cold, over-worked and helpless.

I guess I’ll read a comic book and then I’ve got some work to do before Monday.
