Bleah and similar ho-hum responses

[agoodwinsmith]

I have been having a real emotional slump lately: I'm really missing Lorne. I don't know why now - there is nothing particularly special to us about this time of year. The weather has cleared away a lot of the smoke, so that is welcome, but the light is getting shorter each day, which means it is getting colder at night. And *all* of this means that we are heading into winter again - and this place has all too much enthusiastic winter for me.

Okay, Lorne couldn't fix too much winter - he was great, but not magical - but it would certainly be more bearable if he was here.

Bleah.

Sympathies.

Thank you.

I feel a little the same. I hate it when days get shorter and we are closing in on equinox. The last quarter of the year is miserable that way, only made bearable by the emergence (here) of the first little blades of grass. I so look forward to Winter Solstice when the light begins to return (or, for a few days, the light doesn't get any less).
Solidarity against Fall I say!

[agoodwinsmith]

If it would just stay fall until spring, that would be fine.

Winter - ugh. No wonder Northern people made up miserable, capricious, mean gods.

Solidarity against the solidity (water as snow, etc).

I'm sorry. *hugs* if wanted.

[agoodwinsmith]

Thank you.

I'm sure you understand this business of being fine until suddenly, for no perceivable reason, being not fine. Bah.

I have not seen you active lately. How goes it for you?

[supermouse]

I do. Today's been quite wobbly. Very sad and as if something awful was going to happen except it has.

I get joy from life! I've found it too hard to connect to anyone for a while and now after a remote DnD game I have enough social spoons to go catching up again. People sort of become ciphers and I become totally overwhelmed by trying to follow The Rules and remember who people are or track their realities. I have writing as a hobby so I can always do that.

I'm grateful for having friends. And that I don't have to starve waiting on the Department of Work and Pensions to decide if I'm disabled enough to be worth supporting. Hopefully they will.

I do hope you too get joy from life and have some lovely winter moments coming up, which for me always involve those moments of not being cold or wet any more, and hot chocolate. Or rubber hot water bottles, I have a deep affection for those still.
