Seasonal Depression

The weather here has been so rainy and icky. I'll tell you what, those who think the weather can't have a negative effect on your moods has no idea what they're talking about. I've only wanted to eat, sleep and work lately. I know I'm excited for Christmas to be over.

I just got off of work and I'm off for the next 5 days for my monthly weekend off. Later today, I will prepare all the food for Saturday and Sunday, mail off one last gift to Dad and see what music is playing later that night. With luck, I'll be able to get some dancing in! Stephen and I are camping at Inks Lake on Saturday and Sunday. I always look forward to spending time with Stephen and the dogs in nature. I'm a bit fearful of the potential cold but we'll live. We did last time when it was in the 30's. This time around we hope to explore the park a little bit more and maybe rent a canoe for a few hours. I've arranged for our typical camping food: Vegan sausages, black bean burgers, hummus on pita, PB and J, Chips, salsa and some other stuff too. I enjoy cooking over the fire! We'll also be packing some margarita mix and tequila! Yeah!

Monday we will come home as Stephen has to work. I'll go dancing at Continental Club with the friendly strangers I dance with every week. Tuesday I will bake for Jim Stringer and his band and for the "Exclusive Fuck You Meat Eaters at Work Vegan Potluck." Yeah, that's a long name but Lana, Laura and I are going to have a veggie feast since our work does nothing for the 10 employees that don't eat meat. It's like, "Here's a veggie tray." Wow, thanks. I'm working on Christmas and I get a fucking veggie tray. Cool.

Otherwise, all is well. Paying my bills, working at a job I love and playing when I can. I wish Stef and I had more time together. We have a trip to Chicago planned for May. I'm anxious to see everyone again. Maybe in March or April I'll come home too. I also need to try to get home for the big July party my parent's have!! Add up them airline miles! Woot!
