So where's Spring?
Mar. 14th, 2004 01:51 pmThe wind is honking outside. It's supposed to be blowing at 17mph, but it sounds stronger. Temps are in the 40s, but it feels colder. Can't cheer up the living room by getting a fire going because winds this strong tend to push smoke back down the chimney. Not a pleasant experience, getting kippered in your living room.
Got about one page written last night. Not good at all, but better than nothing.
All in all, my mood is not easy to pin down. Try combining grumpy with worried, pensive, hopeful, excited, thoughtful, and windblown, and you just about have it. Part of it could be due to the upcoming trip, and the preparations. Part of it is due to the fact that I need to plan a day job career change, and that's always a little scary. It means trying to figure out exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life, something that is more than just counting down the days. Something I can enjoy doing. Work I can be proud of. This is not an easy task, even though I know that in the long run it will be worth the effort. It means climbing out of a rut, and while ruts are life-numbing, they're also safe and hard to fall out of. It's easy to coast on a ready-made track.
But I need a change, and I need to work to achieve it. It's up to me.
In simpler news, bought a new telephone, a twin handset 2.4 GHz unit that I'm hoping makes it easier to hear and understand callers. Well, understand the sounds they're making, at least. Deeper meanings are sometimes impossible to comprehend.
Tomorrow's Monday already. Ick. But it is a Buffy night. Faith shows up, which should make for an interesting episode.
