Okay. The weather continues to be ridiculously cold. It was supposed to get hot by tomorrow, but I don't see how that will happen (then again, for all I know it might, because nothing will surprise me anymore). I had some sort of crisis this morning where I just felt sick and tired of it all and utterly unable to make myself do anything. My energy levels were pitifully low, and the simplest everyday decisions seemed beyond my mental capacity. Yesterday I took care of laundry, so all I needed to do today was buy some groceries and fix some lunch food for work. But first I had to figure out WHAT I wanted to make. And I just couldn't decide, for the life of me. I paged through my entire cookbook collection, and somehow nothing seemed appealing. Besides, I was FREEZING and just didn't want to deal - so I burrowed under the duvet and just sulked at the universe for a while.;) Finally, late in the afternoon, I dragged myself out and purchased the ingredients for a light, quick and simple dish, which I then threw together. And that's it. All I've managed to do with my day. But at least I did SOMETHING... which in the morning didn't seem very likely to happen.
Btw, I just saw online that upstate New York had SNOWSTORMS this weekend. Yep. Snowstorms. On the last weekend of May. Bad enough that some highways had to close. No comments, really. Like I said, I've lost the capacity for shock. I'm just sort of blinking dazedly here. *blink blink*
Oh, and my allergies are beginning to escalate - which usually happens when the hot weather arrives. So perhaps this means it WILL be hot. Or perhaps it's just a belated reaction to the insane amounts of dust I must have breathed in while cleaning the place on Saturday (the floors were incredibly filthy, I have to admit). At any rate, I started taking Allegra again - which no doubt contributed to my general lack of energy.
Also, I was going to make some profound anniversary post to commemorate the TEN YEARS since I started this journal... but that would take way more time and brainpower than I seem to have at the moment.:/ So yeah... fail on that front as well. Maybe I'll manage to say something deep and inspiring when I reach my thousandth LJ entry.:) (Which will also happen very soon, btw.)
But before I sign off and burrow under the duvet again (which seems to be my favorite activity these days...), let me share the one thing that brought a smile to my face on this murky afternoon. ( Read more... )
