Sitting in front of the computer with Fantastic Four playing in the livingroom and my dog snoring on the bed next to me. When I look out my window into the courtyard I see rows and rows of living rooms with the blue light of the T.V flickering inside most of them. Some person on the bottom floor still has his christmas lights up. News flash - Christmas has come and gone, sadly. This Saturday I managed to accomplish a few things. First, I went to the gym and jogged on the old tredmill for 40 minutes, then came home and baked a chocolate toffee cake and then managed to write for an hour or so, with both Nick and dog snoring behind me. It'll do for today. I'm so tired and listless all the time, must be the season, perpetual darkness. I dislike this time of the year because as soon as the holidays end I get this empty feeling. It's like pulling a plug, it all becomes so terribly dark and dreary, with nothing tangible to look forward to. Discarded Christmas trees everywhere, thrown out because they're done serving their purpose, now they're just sad and bare looking. Gloomy reminders that Christmas is over.
On the other hand, with a new year comes determination to make this year a good and productive one. January is always filled with ambitious plans and ideas. Normally, they're lost by March. This year, my resolution is to not lose my drive!
