Not crawling in my cave....just yet!

Aaaaaaaaaagggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh....it is happening. The winter blues are hitting me....bad part is we have only had about three really cold days!
There is just something about this time of year that gets me every single time...it is getting dark earlier, the air has a not so comforting chill, my car windshield has frost on it, I can see my breath....all of these things are on my list of things I could do without! When this time of year starts rolling around, I always seem to buy more pajamas than any other time - I guess all I want to do is lay in bed sipping hot chocolate so the fashionista in me feels the need to do this in cute PJ's. How can I remain in a completely gloomy mood when I at least had an excuse to go shopping...in a warm store?! :)

I was talking to a friend today and I told them I was starting to get these feelings but that I felt like my gloomy mood was coming earlier than normal, to which my honest friend replied...Nope,go take some Tylenol PM, and go to sleep, you have done this every year around this time since I have known you.

As I have mentioned before in my posts I am so thankful for my friends, even without trying they often snap me back to reality. He was right,every year around this time, I do seem to fade away into what I call my "poor me' bear cave"...I really do which is why all I could do was pause for a second and then laugh when I realized no rebuttal was needed to his comment!

This conversation helped me to decide that I am not going into hibernation just yet...I mean, the temperature tomorrow is supposed to be 68 degrees -That is really close to 70...I have gone to the beach on 70 degree days - I cannot break out the Swiss Miss at this point...I am promising myself to at least wait until we get down to 60! :)

This Winter (or Fall as some call it...to me it is all winter haha) I am going to try a different approach, this cold winter, I am going to keep my chin up even if snowflakes are landing on it!

PS) Only 253 more days until it is officially Summer! ;)
