Winter Blah-bity Blahs and Suns Also Rising

It's been such a week that I haven't even taken any new pictures of anything, so here's one from whenever...

By me, circa a few years back. Colored and charcoal pencil(s)

As my dad said at my wedding, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all ..." I've been pretty much silent for the past few days. No need to share my shitty energy digitally. I'm not over the hump yet, but at least I'm able to consider more positive thoughts instead of wallowing. 

Being cold makes you appreciate heat. It also makes you highly aware of what you don't want. It also reminds you from whence you came, and motivates you to not go backwards. I refuse to go backwards. Full speed ahead! 

My gut reaction this week has been to practice particularly carefree and shitty eating habits. I'm pretty much over it. I know it's contributing to the shittastic frame of mind, and the assorted aches and pains. I am pleased to say, though, that the shoulder thing is pretty much gone for the time being. 

I've swapped it out for very low energy, and tiredness. Also probably related to what I've been eating. I have a difficult time adjusting eating patterns when my Beloved's schedule changes. Like yesterday, I had zero actual meals, and instead just nibbled on things, like a Reese's peanut butter cup, some pork rinds and chip dip, some crackers, some Sun Chips, and some Elote almonds. 

The only benefit - eating junk and carbs = not being as internally cold, which helps make the lack of reliable furnace heat more bearable. 

We've been very fortunate to have such a mild winter this year, so that's been also a bonus. 

Things are only going to get better. 

In other news, I feel like things are falling into place with the work. Such things happen when I stop overthinking, and stop worrying about what everyone else is doing and just focus on my own workflow. 

Can't wait to see this scenery again. 

It's getting closer, the sun is ALMOST in that spot when it rises now!

There are other signs of spring, as well. The tulips have sprouted. The Eastern bluebirds are coming back. The grackles are back almost daily. There are bunnicles. Probably soon, there will be baby bunnicles. 

I don't have much else to say. I hope you all are enjoying your February. Here's to much sunlight every day!
