[...] 2. I learned, yet again, that November is my least favourite month. Can you say blah? [...]

Oh man, I needed this post. I feel like I’ve had either the November Blahs, or maybe even the 2009 Blahs. And all the sudden I’ve lost all interest in my usual passions. I’m just treading water. There have been two incidents inside two weeks that made me completely unappreciated and useless in my chosen field, and that really messed with my head. I even started thinking about dropping my career path all together, but I’m sure that’s just a knee jerk reaction. I’m not good with ebbs and flows. To me, the ebb means permanent change, but that’s just because of my totally unstable upbringing. I can hardly ever go back to something after drifting away. It makes it hard to stay married, that’s for sure!

Anyway, I’m hoping to get some perspective on this whole depression thing soon.

My very good friend who’s living in Vancouver at the moment is also finding the weather tough. She actually compared the stats on the amount it rained in Vancouver versus the UK the other day…. I guess she had time to kill!!

Chocolate helps. And upbeat music can trick me into a higher energy level long enough to actually start feeling less blah. .-= Lady M´s last post ..Grateful =-.

I remember clearly the blahs I'd feel in November, December, January, especially February and half of March back when I lived up north. I was incredibly affected by the lack of sun. So much so that I started going to a tanning place once every couple weeks. Not to get tan, just for the dose of "sun" and it worked wonders. I'd lay in a tanning bed, put on some island music on the headphones and soak in the faux sun and be totally alone for ten whole minutes. Just ten minutes on the lowest power setting and afterwards my blahs would be gone. Gone! People buy those full spectrum lights for the same thing. You could try upping your vitamin D. That might do the same thing too. .-= AmberDusick´s last post ..Red Big Chill Fridge =-.

Hope your blahs subside. I've also been struck by how very rainy November has been here in Seattle. Shouldn't be a big surprise, but somehow it's come as a shock that we can't go out on the playground and beach at any moment anymore. Well, Mikko would, but Sam and I prefer not being soaked and frozen. The staring at a blank screen but writing anyway thing? That's what NaNoWriMo taught me for the first time last year, because there's no time to dally. I used to try to wait for The Muse, but now with a 2-year-old and all that other life stuff, I have to just do it, just write. I find the more I practice that discipline, the easier it becomes. Mike: Good job coming up with something positive! We don't have our own lawn, but I will try to appreciate the general greenness. .-= Lauren @ Hobo Mama´s last post ..The winner of the mei tai giveaway — and how to make your own! =-.

I watch the rain trickling down the windows and can’t help but be overjoyed, for the wetness that lays heavy on my soul is a source of life for my lawn. My lawn, that semi-green patch of grass that is not yet impressive will be a lush, velvety thing of beauty in the Spring.

Thank you, Rain!

That’s pretty much the only positive thing I could come up with

If I could have seen further than 2 inches in front of my face last night my blog post for today would have touched on my own November blahs and expanded on my personal hatred for the rain right now.

But I couldn’t find my glasses and my eye felt all weird and puffy and I just wanted to crawl into bed so I guess I should be thankful I managed any sort of post at all.

4 more days…4 more days…and then November is OVER!

I did, I did! NaBloPoMo rocks. Except when it sucks. One of the things I’ve had to get over is waiting until a post is polished and perfect before I send it out there. Because if I waited until they were perfect, my blog would be a big blank bottomless void.

You’re one of my biggest inspirations. Blah/blog on.
