I will be glad when January is over. I had forgotten what a very depressing month it is. Far from feeling like a 'new start' to the year, it just makes me think of all the things I have failed to achieve in the previous year. Sort out the remaining possessions with my ex? Fail. Clear some of the junk out of this house so that I can actually move? Fail. New kitchen? You guessed....Fail. New bathroom, same. I haven't even managed to defrost the freezer. All year. It is so frost laden, that one day it may just explode. The garden is a mess, and while I could be out there right now on this bright sunny morning, doing something about that, I am not. Nor I suspect shall I be.
I just can't be bothered. I mooch around here on the internets and I read endless books. I manage the bare essentials, shopping and cooking, and minimal cleaning. Other than that, I seem totally unable to get my act together. At all. About anything.
Maybe February will be different. But you know what? I doubt it.
It is a beautiful sunny day, and in a while I will get up and go out. At some point today I shall force myself to make a list. Maybe by the end of the week I shall have managed to do at least some of the easy things on the list. Or then again, maybe I shall wait until it is February.
January? Fail.

Well, it has been horribly grey this month. I'm sure we usually get a few more days of cold sunshine.
ReplyDeleteYou probably need to find some way to draw a line and kind of take a deep breath and start afresh. Well, that is what I always need to do if I get into a rut or a slump - change something bit and that makes me focus on that and then other things kind of slot into place.
January is nearly over at any rate and February is very short. Then it'll be spring.
Yikes, now I am wishing our lives away!
"bit" was meant to be "big". I should proof read my comments before I publish them, not afterwards.
