Blues

Something in me changed recently. It's been coming on slowly, but I can definitely feel the winter blues sucking me down now. I was feeling pretty good at the first of the year, but a bunch of little things have started to weigh me down like those straws on the proverbial camel's back.  My resolve to reach my 2011 goals is slipping, and it's getting harder and harder to even care. One of the more significant problems is an injury to my ankle that I sustained when I rolled my foot while helping my sister move some furniture on New Year's Day. It didn't start hurting until a couple of hours later, but after a few weeks of getting slightly better each day, I reinjured it, and it's been downhill since then. My limited mobility, the constant pain, and the inconvenience of wearing stupid support braces is frustrating me more and more. The next big weight is the inevitable work crap I face daily--especially a bunch of big, crazy, and sometimes inexplicable IT problems. Every day I feel more behind, more frustrated, more tired, and further down in my spirits. I'm definitely sinking. If you know my family's history, you can understand why I'm more than a little scared of feeling like this. I sort of know what I need to do, but it takes time and energy I don't have--and a growing part of me doesn't want to fight back. Spring, please get here fast.
