So 2008 is five days old, and everything is back to normal. Folks called out of work, the traffic picked up, the stores rolled out the old junk from before the holidays and tried to pass it off as new junk, the networks are in reruns. . . .oh wait, that’s the writers’ strike. . . .football season is winding down, basketball season is winding up, and the bills and income tax forms are starting to show up in the mailboxes.
Fortunately I didn’t buy anything in the stores during the holiday season, so the only charges I’ll see are for shampoo and gas.
January is a bleak month. Even though we’re on the gaining side of sunlight, the cold weather is officially set in and temperatures will make any sunlight seem like a cruel spotlight on our misery. Add to that the end of month/week/year reporting everybody has to do in one way or another, and the days drag on endlessly.
Anybody who made a resolution to diet probably didn’t get far, since leftovers still have to be eaten, and it’s doubtful that anybody’s pantry was devoid of high calorie snack foods as of midnight on December 31st. Can’t we just start dieting in February instead?
