According to some psychologist in Britain January 24th is the worst day of the year. By the 24th New Years resolutions have gone up in flames, the reality of Christmas debt has set in, the holiday cheer has evaporated, taxes are right around the corner and the long haul winter freeze sets in.
My most depressing day of the year is today, February 1st. I don’t have a mathematical equation like the doctor, but I do know that when the calendar rolls over to the second month of the year if I’m not in a tropical place chilling at/near the beach, my motivation drops through the floor, the circles under my eyes get ever deeper and my will to climb out of bed before 11am disappears. This is SAD folks (Seasonal Affective Disorder), literally a lack of light to the body and I suffer from it greatly.
All hope is not lost of course. I am the Wanderboy and I could take off at any minute, as I did Saturday at 4pm to New York City for the night.
I read an article that discussed how “back in the day” when winter set into northerly regions, people would literally hibernate. There was nothing to do, no crops to grow or harvest, so they’d make a big fire, eat a few times and sleep for like 16 hours/day. Now THAT is a lifestyle I could work with. But it’s not back in the day, it’s 2010, two years before the end of the world apparently, so I feel obligated to do something on a daily basis aside from eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and scratching myself. Perhaps I’ll drink some green tea.
Why February, must you suck so badly? Some idiot put Valentine’s Day in February. Do you want people killing themselves? I hate this month. At least one person got smart and removed a day from the calendar every 3 out of 4 years. I bet he/she figured even if it was just one less day, it could make a world of difference. I agree.
If you were born in February I’m sorry...your parents should have planned better.
I’m off to take a nap before I go to sleep for the night and hope the sun rises late.
Blah!
