Single Digit Blues

I got the single digit blues!

My toes done froze in my shoes!

Not sure I can make it through

These damn single digit blues!

I think it's safe to say that I am over winter.  I know there are parts of the country that are even more deep frozen than we are, and I feel for them and hope that my friends who live there stay safe and warm as possible.

This is the worst winter we've had in a while.  I'm really glad that I did not have to put up with this last year at this time.  The radiation, surgery recovery, and pending chemo was enough to deal with!  I feel such empathy for anyone who has to get out in this right now to go through some of those treatments.

Even worse than the cold (for me) is the difficulty I'm having getting motivated through all this.  I dread getting ready to go to work each day.  Every time I do have a day that gets cancelled, I get encouraged to think that they'll all get cancelled.  When that doesn't happen, I get sullen and pouty nd even more unmotivated.  Single digit blues, indeed.

For anyone I know who is lucky enough to live where you have temperatures above freezing, take advantage of the opportunity:  live, go out, enjoy, shop, do things.  And think a kind thought or two for the rest of us, okay?

In the meantime, I guess I'll keep singing the blues.  The single digit blues.

I got the single digit blues!

Just wanna stay home and snooze!

That's the way to make it through

These low-down, no-good, single digit blues!
