So... seasonal depression got me real good. My wardrobe for the last couple weeks has been a hoodie and a blanket. I had to get out today because I was out of things, but that doesn't really mean much. We're probably looking at Groundhog Day before I get back to my happy place again. By that time there's a lot more light, and the temperature usually gets more livable. The Northwest is actually not that cold. Not nearly as cold as the Plains or the Midwest, but this Winter has been consistently cold and wet and miserable. I thought I was going to avoid a full-on hibernation this year. I had a pretty good year and was feeling hopeful but then the fires happened and I spiraled. I spent the better part of a week watching the coverage, trying to catch glimpses of things I had known. So much that I had known was gone. It was really depressing. A good friend in Sierra Madre lost his home. He's an artist. I haven't spoken to him, but I'm sure he lost tons of art. Many others. A whole family in Alta Dena that lost multiple homes. I had worked for a couple of them. It's surprising how much it hurts even though I haven't been there for awhile. So when I couldn't watch any more of that I started doom scrolling on yt. I actually found a good show. The WHY files. (check it out). So after I finished yt, I moved on to Disney+ and watched the Infinity Saga. Then the Multiverse Saga. Then the Star Wars Saga. Then Saga The movie. I DID learn some new music. A few new songs. I'm looking forward to jumping back into the music scene and playing them for you. I'll also be updating my page content with some new ideas that I will be trying. I have a new little serial called "Hey James!" that I've been working on. I'll roll that one out pretty soon. Maybe Groundhog Day. Sure. That's one of the reasons that I'm such a huge fan of that day as well as the movie with Bill Murray. That's usually when the depression starts to lose it's hold on me. I'm really looking forward to it this year because I actually kind of have a life. So, I'll see you all in a couple weeks whether you like it or not. Hope I'll still be welcome at your campfires! 😉
