now that the holidays are over I don’t have anything going on. I have to get two shots in January. one I got on the 3rd and now I wait for the 31st to get my next shot. im actually looking forward to it. I will be doing nothing for 2 and a half weeks until it comes.
I bought some books that im waiting to arrive in the mail. both introductory horticulture books. im a loser now so all im going to do is garden as I age. I plan on having an extensive library full of horticulture books.
mom and dad won’t move all their stuff out for another month or so. not until the contractors are finished with their house. I got a lot of their crap in my place still.
I got a lot of stuff I need to buy for my place. a couch, a breakfast nook, maybe a record player, some lights, and Im going to put a treadmill in the bonus room. that will blow through my savings and i’ll then apply for additional ssi to go along with my ssdi. anyways I treat this place like I own it.
Yes, winter sucks. I hate the heat though from summer. It’s usually freaking hot here and we have no air conditioning.
It doesn’t snow where I live and the coldest it gets is like 35 degrees farenheit, which is nothing, but I still feel it and it sucks. It gets dark out early and the sun isn’t that bright.
I guess it beats the heat though.
Glad I don’t live in Finland or something. Doubt I could make it lol.
Well almost a month through this winter. A little over two months to go. We are approaching the coldest time if the year mid Jan till the end of the month. It’s going fast if only it could go faster.
yeah we were having a mild winter until this week. temperatures dropped into the 20’s f, I don’t know what that is in Celsius. hopefully it’s just a couple of frigid weeks, the 10 day forecast shows low temperatures getting down to 8 degrees farenheit. dad said today that we have another 8-10 inches of snow on the way next weekend. I was hoping to go a whole winter without snow, but we just got 3 inches this weekend. the worst part is I have nothing to do. im going crazy with cabin fever. I wake up get my workout in, get me something to eat and then have nothing to do for like 8-10 hours a day. it’s just too much time, i only have to make it another month and pitcher’s and catchers will report for spring training (baseball) and then i will have a distraction to get me through winter. the worst part of it really is that im sober for the first time in years this winter. i used to hike to the wine store and get a couple bottles a week and that would liven up the winter months for me but i can’t do that anymore. i may go back to drinking a little next winter, im not sure if i will or not.
I think another big thing is I stopped watching television regularly about 8 years ago. all the sports and comedies I used to watch I no longer find entertaining. it’s left a void in my life I haven’t replaced yet.
then I went to the internet instead but im getting less and less out of the internet these days, I overdid that too. I go on to youtube and wait for new videos from my favorite channels but they only update during the week. the weekends are the worst. really I only need about 2 hours at most of internet time a day and I can do that in the morning when I drink my coffee. but I spend all day on the internet, it’s just getting old. hopefully my new studies will help fill the void im feeling.
as far as i know a lot of Europe is under snow and we are meant to be getting some soon, i always thought the shortest day would be colder, just made sense but idk.
it could be the sz. somewhat… but it’s just the little things like not going for walks or not being able to sit on the front porch swing that messes with me. those things would reset my mind even when I was feeling a little cabin fever.
I could use a vacation really, but mom and dad are too busy worrying about their new house all the time. I don’t feel like going anywhere by myself. just a week in florida somewhere even if we were camping would reset me and the rest of the winter would fly by.
I haven’t gone anywhere this winter. last winter I took 2 trips to Colorado to visit my sister and I got a season pass to go skiing here at the ski slopes. I thought it would help me enjoy winter a little more which it did, but I decided to save my money this year. maybe i’ll go skiing again next winter, I don’t know.
yeah days are starting to get longer. should be warming up. it got dark here at about 10 after 6pm today. just a couple weeks ago it was getting dark at like 530pm
You can probably come up with ideas of something to do but, if you are like me, you argue with yourself like “You wouldn’t like that.” or “I’m scared to try that.” or “NO.” Sheesh, I give myself a headache.
