Ugh.

I am tired for no reason today.
I do hope that I am not going to end up sick. Everyone around us is falling into illness. There's the stomach variety, and the coughing-all-night variety, and the general stuffiness variety. Take your pick.

Do you ever feel just lethargic, and so try to eat and eat in a vain effort to gain energy? I keep trying to eat, but I am not really hungry, since I have already had 4 solid meals today. Mostly, I need a nap. Nibbling will not be helpful in the end.

It ought to be snowing, for heaven's sake. And my house should smell of evergreen and cinnamon. The tree is up, after all. You'd think that a holiday mood would be a daily staple between Thanksgiving and New Year's. Actually, a winter storm is forecast for tonight. We are anticipating large quantities of snow. Snow always adds to the holiday cheer. Right?

I am tired and grumpy, and there is no reason for it at all.
Have I mentioned that I need a nap?
And a raise. I need a nap and a vast sum of money. Wait... make that a generous stipend. Preferably something I may collect while sleeping.

Perhaps I sould take a page from my own book, as it were, and whip up some chocolate martini.
