You know. The final X-mas bills come in. The weather is crap. The day’s are short. There’s hardly any light. The month seems long, even though it’s short. There’s no holidays (well, actually in Alberta we have Ralph Day). That pesky 5 lbs from X-mas is still hanging on. February is just a dumb, stupid, sucky month.

Sending warm thoughts your way Alice.
I, on the other hand, prefer the cooler weather. Summer is much too hot for me to be comfortable. The only thing I don’t care for during the winter is the potential for bad roads. Beyond that, life is good.
Well, I don’t mind cool weather. It’s the nasty, grey, slushy, overcastness that I can do without.
Mostly, I’m just whinging. My SO has been away for a while and I think it’s starting to get me down. 
Bah! Stupid February.
Firstly, thank you for your Yosemite Sam impression. Secondly, I send many smiles your way; I know you need them. Lastly, here, you see, I’m just as bad off as you. Rejoice!

Only 5 pounds? Must be nice!
