Perpetual Ruminations

Drawing A Blank

I'll be glad when this cold snap snaps. It's supposed to end Friday and be nicer this weekend, but I heard that before. The cold not only gets some of my aches and pains going, but it also keeps me inside. That, in turn, makes it difficult to write in here because it's the same shit, different day.

It's also getting to Max and Bellah; they need more exercise, but with it so cold, they just go out, do their business, and are back at the door. I seriously thought about taking them to the park today, but just putting gas in the vehicle left me chilled, so I returned home. On a positive note, however, I haven't seen any mosquitoes.

I know I should be utilizing this time inside and finish getting my office cleaned up, set up, and usable, but the weather also has me demotivated.

Maybe it's time to stir the pot and end these mid-winter blues. My wife is off Friday through Sunday, perhaps a road trip is in order. I'll have to talk to her and make sure she doesn't have anything planned.

Until then, and pending the end of this cold spell, I'll have to put on some old-time rock 'n' roll and get going on my office.
