Just shooting off a flare to let you know I'm still here

Work seems to be sucking every last bit of energy out of my tired little body. Add in the February I've-Lost-The-Will-To-Live blues (It's cold and gray and gloomy and thus it has ever been and thus it ever shall be...) and we've got a serious lack of post-worthiness going on around here.

I manage to knit a few stitches on the Niebling in the evenings, but progress is slow and unphotogenic. It's now a slightly larger lump of bumpiness. (Or bump of lumpiness. It could go either way.)

I'm still spinning Goldie's fleece, but it's just more and more of the same the same the same.

I need sunshine. I need warm weather. I need to not have to put on a hat and a coat and boots and a scarf and gloves just to go outside.

I need to stop whining and just let spring come in its own good time.
(Which up here is May.)
*sigh*

    Spring will come! I think this is the hardest part of winter - when you know the end is coming, but it still seems so very far away. Hang in there.

    I like to think of my recent posts as hopeful, inspirational things that prove spring will come, eventually, even to the far north.

    And then ya'll can cackle hysterically when I melt in the summer doldrums.

    I hope you got outside today! At least in Waterbury where I work we avoided the rain, got a little sun, and temps in the 50's! It's rejuvenating even if I know it won't last through the night...

    You are so right that this is a tough time of year. I'm just beginning to resurface and, frankly, that is iffy. I hope the sun finds you very soon. And I hope work stops being soul-sucking fo ryou.

    I saw several robins on campus the other day so that's encouraging. If the sun shines, I drop everything and go outside.

    The days are getting a little longer and we've lost our snow so faith that spring will return has been renewed. Now watch us get a blizzard the first week of March and put us back in the doldrums.

    You need light. It can be artificial. March 21 is halfway day. It will get better. I promise.
