Was there ever a winter so cold and so sad?
I feel a little unhappy right now, and I have no good reason for it. OK, I have a big to-do list, but I have already DONE some of it. I have also conquered a bunch of stuff at work, and my training sessions are going pretty well. My personal life is no more dire than it ever is. Mom isn't any crazier than she normally is. Nothing in particular is wrong. And I'm enjoying the hell out of Facebook.* I've been thinking about my past and my future, and none of that is stressing me out, so WTF, body? Why the sadness?
I guess it could just be the winter. It feels very long this year. I feel like it's sucking the energy and life out of me. I really need a vacation; I know I had two weeks off at Christmas, but it's just not enough. I didn't go away during that time, so it doesn't really count in the recharging batteries sense.
I think also it could be because I've been surfing realtor sites looking for apartments, and some of them are kind of awesome and I want to move in right now (NOW!) but I can't. Perhaps it's general ennui and impatience and being stuck in limbo. I need to do something soon to jolt myself out of it. Damnable February. I'm always like this in February. Soon there will be baseball. Then all will be better.
How are you dealing with this season? Any tips?

* I have someone on my Facebook friends' list who was my very best friend in junior high, but then I moved away and never really saw her again. And I found my pseudo-little brother, who I last hung out with when he was in his early teens (he's 35 now). How cool is THAT?
