Beautiful Cynicism III

C’est pareil chaque janvier: après l’euphorie des fêtes de la fin d’année (heu, bon, n’exagérons pas… mais c’est un joli moment quand même), viennent les blues du début d’année. C’est peut-être plus sévère cette année puisque je suis devenue habitué au silence ces derniers temps, quand je n’avais pas de connexion d’internet pendant quelques semaines. Maintenant ma connexion est rétablie, mais je n’ai pas vraiment envie de l’utiliser!

I’m in an antisocial kind of mood. That, combined with ongoing headaches and a general feeling of ill health, has caused me to withdraw into myself, wanting nothing more than to hunker down and spend my time napping, watching movies, and eating comfort food. I’ve been going to work, but that’s about it. If I do go out, it’s for purely utilitarian purposes, and I tend to avoid crowds or areas where I may see someone I know (difficult in a small town)… I’m moving around incognito these days. I think I turned on my phone twice in the past three days. I have calls to make, but haven’t the drive to make them. I have many emails to send, but haven’t the energy to write them. In truth, I wish I could just sleep, or at least lay in bed listening to the rain and the hail strike the windows.
