Winter Blues

We had a few days of decent weather, It was rainy but at least it was semi warm. Now we are back to the frigid cold and snow, Im sick of snow. Getting up early in the snow is something I wish I could avoid all together. It is way to cold in the morning. Nothing like a wake up call of cold wintery wind slapping you in the face. I'll be glad for spring. Hopefully not much longer.

It is that time again for the craziness of tax season. Everyone making plans for their tax returns. Working in retail that is a chaos I hope to avoid. But I am sure I won't be that lucky. I am assuming that is why I work all days next week. There will be a lot of people shopping, splurging on new things. Oh the things money does to people. Especially in my house. I dread tax season every year for that reason. Everyone bickers and fights about what the money is getting spent on. They are miserable with it, miserable with out it. The only thing thats good about it is being able to get ahead on bills and being able to relax and breathe for a month or so before the cycle begins again. Hopefully by this time next year I will living in a place of my own or at least close to it. I think I will be able to have enough saved by the end of the year to put some money down on a place. I really need that. It is too crowded and too stressful living with family. But it is the only way that I can afford to store some money away for myself for my own space. So I am focusing on the goal at hand and keep moving along.

In the meantime it also gives me the chance to focus on things Ive been wanting to do or needing to. So even though this blog is about having the winter blues there are some positive nots to look forward to.

Now all I need is a car....

But first I need to work on getting some decent and affordable health insurance. I cant keep trying to get by without it. So much I need to do, Just not enough time and money to do so. I hate that the world has to revolve around money as much as it does. Sadly we do need it. Just wish we didnt need so much of it.

I can't believe it is so cold. Sitting in front of the heater and Im still barely staying comfortable. I hope the temps go up some this wind chill factor is crazy. Its making it hard to concentrate. I really want to do some writing today, since my next day off won't be until tuesday. And today is only friday. Sure I can fit it in between working but I wont get nearly as far as I would get today being able to spend the whole day on it. Or at least a good four or five hours of uninterrupted quiet time. I cant keep having the tomorrow is another day attitude because its not going to get me anywhere. I have four other book ideas I want to use. So I need to get busy. I just wish I didnt lack the inspiration and the motivation so much lately. I am feeling lazy because I havent been on the elliptical in over a week. I really need to do that. I didnt realize how much better it makes me feel. It was a commitment I am glad I made in buying. Now I just need to stick to it. Maybe it will help with this winter blah.
