WINTER SETS IN

December 5, 2009 Saturday

As the Winter Front moves into the City, I sit snuggled up on the couch, my perch of late, nursing my cruddy throat with peppermint tea, watching the morning news, playing Farmville, and so so tired. I am like a bear getting ready for hibernation. The only difference? I don't have the winter layer of fat on, rather I've lost it, down to the weight I could only dream of once upon a time, 134lbs. I've actually put on 3 lbs in as many days. Yippee!! Who knew I'd be happy about weight gain? I feel fine, but not fine. Am I denying how I feel? I'm not sure. All I know is I wish I had a fireplace to gaze into.

I do not look forward to the snow that is coming. I wish we could have the warmer days of last week back, I felt like I could go out, at least, and walk about. But the cold turns me off, makes me want to sleep, and do nothing. Is it the fact that I have this sorta cold, and it is draining me? I know I should do my P/T, or my WiiFit, but I just can't pull myself up.

So I sit, because I can't sleep, nor do I want to, but I'm tired. Guess this means my hemoglobin is slipping. What remains of my hair will soon be gone, for now, and my eyebrows are thinning and need to be filled in with pencil, my eyelashes are fewer and fewer, will I need false eyelashes? I don't mind, don't get me wrong, just putting it down. I can't read books because my vision is blurry more often than it's not, and when I read it gives me a headache. So I become like Cat Lady and live for the kitties to entertain me.

I am Winter
shutting down
waiting patiently
for Spring

Nite!
Light and Love!
