I suppose you’re wondering where I’ve been. Or maybe you haven’t been wondering at all. Perhaps you are happy that your email box or your Facebook timeline has been lighter.
It’s been a while. My brains are stuck on total freeze mode and cannot, will not, function. I am forgetting about appointments, or thinking I have appointments when I don’t.
I have a to-do list that is longer than Santa’s Naughty list. I have writer’s block so bad, I need a chisel. And I want to get out of bed about as much as I want to eat goat livers for breakfast.
Just the thought of the act of moving makes me want to cry. Sometimes I will sit and stare at the remote on the coffee table. Willing it to levitate in my direction. And if it doesn’t (it doesn’t)? Meh. Watching that episode of Friends when Ross whitened his teeth too much for the forty-second time won’t kill me.
My house is flooded. I have holes in my ceiling from ice damming and buckets strewn all around. It looks like one of those kiddie water parks in here but really, I live in a cave.
My hair is overgrown, I need a dye job. I could use a good wax to my lip. I haven’t put on makeup in so long I don’t even remember where I keep it. My shaver has rusted out from lack of use. And my butt hasn’t seen a pair of jeans in 45 days because I know they won’t go above my ankles after sitting and eating nothing but pulled pork sandwiches and Smiley fries all season.
It won’t stop snowing and the temperature doesn’t seem to want to reach 30 degrees. If it does reach 30 degrees, people are out in shorts and t-shirts like we live in the middle of the Sahara. Which just pisses me off even more.
The snow is piled so high that the simple act of walking out to fetch the mail from the mailbox takes twice as long. That is if I can even reach my mailbox.
I’m bitchy and grumpy.
Yes, I am ashamed to say that I have let this horrible winter win. It got the best of me. I have the energy of a sloth. The brains of a goldfish. And the attitude of a bi-polar Princess Aurora.
But, it is March. That means it’s a little closer to something besides winter. We put the clocks ahead an hour this weekend which translates to “there will be light.”
So, as I stare out my window, looking at the snow that is edging up to eye level, I am grateful for March. Are we getting up to 9″ of snow by Thursday? Yes. So they say. But it’s March. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
I will pull my head out of my ass and will become one with humanity.
On second thought, check back with me in April. Yeah. April seems more attainable. After all, isn’t that when bears come out of hibernation?

I am in a [mostly] good mood but when cooped up, bored and nothing to write about I get pissy. My husband, bless his heart, tries to help. Unfortunately, I tend to get even more pissy when he keeps pushing an idea and I’ve said no more than once. Ugh.
You know, it’s funny Kim. Because I am usually a very laid-back, easy going kind of person. I’m happy most of the time. But I swear to you, if it snows one effing centimeter more I will lose it. I don’t have anything to write either. And yes, my husband used to try to give me ideas but has since stopped the last time I jumped down his throat. Poor guy.
I sometimes feel bad for the husbands (and wives!) of bloggers. They put up with so much shit from us it’s borderline ridiculous.

Ugh, sounds horrible!!! Best of luck on your telekinesis skills! Assuming the mastery of which would lend the much-needed pizzaz to get you through one final push of winter-slothdome.
