I haven’t been in the mood to post much here lately. My wife and I are officially in the “Late Fall Blahs”. This is probably a misnomer, since I don’t think the time of year has much to do with it. We are suffering from a conjuction of things happening all at once which has caused our bioryhthm charts to take a dive (anyone else remember bioryhthm chars?).

First of all, we are at the “needful junk” stage of the moving-in process. This is the stage where you have all of your important stuff put away, but you still have boxes of stuff lying around the house. When you sit down with one of these boxes, you realize that you will probably never use this stuff, but you might need it. You can’t throw it out, but you don’t really have a place for it, either. So you scoot it to one side, or push it under the coffee table to deal with later.

Second, the weather. We’ve had another week of dreary, overcast days where the moisture just hangs in the air and clings to everything. It sorta-rains, in an off-and-on drizzly kind of way, but it never really rains.

Third is the time of year. It’s approaching Christmas once again, and once again, we don’t have nearly the money that we would like to have around this time of year. This is compounded by the huge amount we just spent on the house and appliance, plus both vehicles need to be registered (one in November, one in December).

Anyway, I hope to post more going forward. I suspect January is going to come as a relief when it finally gets here.
