Snow Snow go away…

Tuesday 16 December 2008 - Filed under Life

So much snow! And more fore-casted.  Victoria is just not used to this kind of weather.  Usually December is so mild.. so relaxed. And here I was a few posts ago bragging about wearing sandals in November.  It’s Karma I tell you!

I’m finding this December to be a hard month for me.  I was blog hopping at work the other day and I wish I could remember the website, but it was this fabulous little crafting blog and the lady was talking about “Novemblahs” or something… well, i definitely suffered from those and they seem to have migrated over to December for me too.  My “online” life has taken a significant back seat… and my site, my friends and my hobbies have all suffered for it.  Now, normally when this happens, at least I have something to show for it! But with my wrists aching and my fingers almost arthritic with the cold, I can’t even craft. I had all these Christmas Ideas and projects lined up and I haven’t finished anything. And I haven’t drawn anything either, and that really depressed me. Drawing is the whole reason I made a website to begin with. And I still have the beautiful fabric just waiting to be used.. but my sewing machine goes un-touched. So I’m trying to think… where does all my time go these days? Well, if I’m to be honest with myself.. and I always try to be, I’ve been playing a fair chunk of WoW… 

WoW is dangerous… and I’m trying desperately to not get sucked back in… but it is a hobby i share w/ Andy so it’s hard to cut myself off cold turkey…  I haven’t started raiding thank heavens.. but even doing little things like dailies and achievements just take up so much time that I find myself worrying about that too! Bah..

But there’s something other than warcraft bugging me and I can’t quite pin it down… I just don’t feel any Christmas excitement this year.   I put my tree up and it looks lovely and all.. but I don’e feel that anticipation I normally do. I just feel tired. I think I drink too much cider too. I’ve been getting rather merry w/ my Mom lately Trying to get festive and all… but really just putting on some un-needed weight. 

I have so many ideas! Drawing! Sewing! Crocheting! Cross Stitching! Web design! And i’m not doing any of them!!1 I feel entirely un-productive.  And entirely worn out. But how can I be worn out when I’m not doing anything!?!? ./sadface

I’m really going to try and put up a comic this Friday. If I can manage that… then maybe there’s hope yet.
