Is it summer yet??

Where I live we have recently had umm 24 plus inches of snow. It's well oddly confining. It makes life slowly and me even lazier than normal. I am losing all will to work and function. I read (even more than normal) and I fantasize about living in a snowless climate again. I mean something is wrong when you almost have to own a pair of snow shoes just in case you're trapped by a huge snow storm. I am not living in the mid-west I so did not sign up for this.


However this is my life right now. I have a partner is my utter discomfort that would be my beautiful dog, because if I hate the snow well she truly despizes it, and well wouldn't you if you had to go squat in it to go to the bathroom. She like me is anti-shoe. I however don't take that to the extreme and walk barefoot outdoors in the winter. She on the other hand chewed off her boots last year. She suffers not so quietly doing her thing but she is so not happy with this snow. It's actually above her head.

So the two of us are like peas in the proverbial pod as we both curse the day winter was upon us. I read and pretend I live in a nice warm tropical place and she obsessively licks at herself. SO maybe we don't quite deal with it in the same way but whatever. If it aids in this winter depression than so be it.

The snow has slowed down my writing too. It's all but halted my projects and even seems to slow me down on updating my blog. I need to find some outlet to ensure I can climb out of this winter funk. In the past week I have read no less that 15 books. While I normally read about a book a day I don't normally read 2 or 3. I see that that may be excessive. Maybe it has to do with all of my favorite series coming out with the newest releases recently but it's doubtful. Now I have read them all and have nothing new to look forward to for quite some time. I even destroyed my reading in this winter funk. Ah the winter funk...so everyone who has experience with this.... How do I fucking break out of this funkiness???
