The winter has finally taken hold and I think I am officially experiencing the chilling grip that's running through the city right now. For the past couple of days, my hermitness was attributed to a (supposed) fractured rib which, as of today was proved to not be fractured*. This, coupled with a generalized languidness has kept me indoors for most of the week. I doubt many other people are outdoors much - but even a trip to the gym seems more than exhausting just to think about. Luckily, my normal winter routine of craving pizza with a side of mashed potatoes and chocolate chip cookies has not reared it's head and vegetables with baked fish seem to be the norm. As of tonight, I decided to get out of this funk and do something productive tomorrow that doesn't involve a movie and a heating pad on my chest (accelerated by two cats fighting over who gets to lay on top of that). One more night of sheer laziness and I am done with this whole scene.
There are some big changes coming up; new work schedule, new classes and hopefully a new excitement about my life that has been lacking for quite some time. This is not escapement, merely embracing change that's coming. Oftentimes, not my strong personality point. The past two years have been more than turbulent, and I'm ready to take what control I can and at the same time let things happen. Travel plans as always, and an upcoming trip in June to Spain and Portugal, with a stop off in Germany give me a real excitement about spring breaking through this miserable gray sky that's covered the city for months. I'd like 2008 to be different.
