Winter Blues



You can probably blame my current mood on many different things.


1) I recently spent a week dog and cat sitting at my parents place. I hate doing this. The dog (Bitch named Jenny) is constantly looking for attention (she's a puppy - 60lbs!!!). The cat (Oliver) not bad though. Actually the most friendly cat you'll ever meet. But in general, I don't like watching them. The feeding the meowing the barking the wining. Its like having children.


2) In December, I found out that most of my company is getting laid off - including me. The good new is that i still have my job until April, and have time to look for something. But this is still added stress that I would rather do without. On top of all this, I really don't know if I want to keep doing the same thing - sales that is. I think I would like to Bar tend in the Caribbean, or run a camping adventure tour. I'm just getting sick of the Monday to Friday 9 to 5er. Or maybe its just knowing im not working here much longer has taken the wind out of my sails, and a vacation!!!


3) I didn't win the Lottery. Its funny. Everytime I play and I don't win, I call my family members and appologies to them sincerely.


4) My car does not like snow and I got plowed-in last night...so getting my car out this morning sucked.


5) Valentine's day is approaching - last year I took the most wonderful girl a guy could ask for to a bed'n'breakfast in Niagara on the lake. It included dinner and breakfast. Our bathroom had heated floors and the most excellent shower (it was a very good shower). Her smile at dinner! Her smile when I cracked the wine! Her smile when we got into our room! Her smile at the breakfast spread! Her look when we took that shower. Anyway, this valentine's day is beginning to look pretty bleak. It's funny because I never cared too much about it before last year, and this year I am expected to revert back to not caring or being a "Valentine Hater" like all the other sour people out there. I'm not THAT sour to be a hater, but i know that weekend is going to bug me knowing shes spending it with someone else.


6) Bills - I've spent way too much over the past 4-5 months on wining and dining and concerts and wine tours. But it was worth it...I mean cmon - Neil Young and Tina Turner and Swell Season - they were all great concerts.


Anyway I guess the main problem is that I'm sick of winter. There's just too much time when you're doing nothing - to think about everything that's bugging you. Whats weird is that I used to love skiing and snow and all that. But lets face it, standing in line for 35mins after every run at blue mountain to get on a chair lift really lost its appeal.


I'll be over it in another day or so. And then probably pissed off at it again next week. The weekend should save me though. I know my past two weekends were great. The Moustache party was killer. My trip with "her" to Konzelmann for BBQ and Ice wine tasting was just perfect, and last Saturday's wine drinking party at the Rice's place really hit the spot.


This weekend = still up in the air but I think Michelle, Karen, and I are going dancing - Maybe I will dance - Maybe I'll just stand with my rye and ginger and look fabulous!
