Not an enormously great day. I did a lot of cleaning, and where there's the satisfaction of things looking nice I take no additional joy in housework, especially as there is still dust in my eyes and nose that the shower couldn't eradicate.

It was also VERY cold and windy today, so I had to pull out my bulkier winter clothing. Not like I go around thinking I'm all that the rest of the time, but there's something about wearing shapeless polarfleece while itching from dust and cat hair that makes one feel distinctly un-hot :P

Did some hand sewing on the stays while watching "Elizabeth R" until I could take no more needle pricks or flowery Elizabethan flirtation.

Curiously, I am not tired. If anything, I wish I could just get in my car and drive to... somewhere. My fantasy of me, a cabin, and a bag of books rears it's head again, just when I can't have it :(

I'll live, and this is a temporary blip - if you've read this far, thanks for reading - I try not to use this journal solely as a place to complain but these things sometimes have to go somewhere :/

Hey, if you can't grouse to your friends, who CAN you grouse to??? MEGAHUGS and hope your fantasy comes true for you soon ... it sounds like a good one.

Hey - you can bitch here anytime you like ;) You have to put up with MY ranting, after all *grinshugs*

Good grief, if you can't bitch a bit and blow off some steam to your virtual friends here, where can you do it, eh? Sounds like you're a little overloaded with life right now. The cabin and books sound like a great idea to me, when do we leave?? I seem to find that this time of year seems to bring out my quieter, less enthusiastic self - there tends to be a bit of depression with the shorter days, less sun and more lethargic tendencies that come with winter.

Get as much sun as you can - that does make a difference. And while it is a temporary blip, give yourself the time to deprogram - it sounds like your life is very busy and every so often the body and mind just say "wait a minute, STOP!" and you have to listen to them - hard to do many times, but when you manage to find the down time, it's priceless.

And don't want to do it here? Feel free to vent in private if you want - my e-mail is always open!

Oh. doG. Yes! I am exactly the same re:energy - even when I feel good I feel unmotivated. My more severe problems with winter depression haven't manifested for the past couple of years, but my body still tries to hibernate despite my best efforts to fight it.

Cabin + books: A few years ago D. and I went here (http://www.coolfont.com) to decompress. It was awesome - no phone, no tv, not even much going on in the town. Each of us took a bag of books and it was heavenly! I'd love to do this again, and will eventually, just not now :/

Oh, I LOVE Berkeley Springs! It is the neatest little town, isn't it? We spent a bit of time there on the way back from Ocracoke this year. I've never stayed at Coolfont - but I'm going to check this out - looks awesome!!!!!
