I have been Illin with a sinus infection. If Run D.M.C. comes to mind, that was my intent. If you don't know who that is, check it out. It was my nickname in Alaska. This song was popular at the club I worked at. I was a hostess/cashier/and Girl Friday. The DJ nicknamed me Illin. He use to dedicate this song to me. I'm better, but now the Ho-Hums have set in. For the record, I am not bored. I am never bored; I just feel worn out and weary.
January is so not my month. I have had a lot of unfortunate events, a lot of mishaps and tragedy has happened in this month. My Dad died years ago, bad car accident in college, son was told he had cancer his Senior year, he didn't, etc. It just isn't my month. I try to find creative ways to snap out of it. Silly, kooky ways, for example I'm trying to beat my daughter at Just Dance 3. My daughter is having friends over for a Taco Party, with a Zelda marathon tonight. My son got my hubby hooked on The Walking Dead series, so he is playing catch up. Son and daughter's boyfriend are into Skyrim.
There isn't any snow, yet it sure feels like cabin fever has set in. It is odd though, because I call July, blizzard month. It is so humid n' hot, no one wants to be outside, unless it is early morning or late at night. It seems to be a whole month, of indoor movies, games etc. Spring, fall n' winter are more our outdoorsy months. Maybe my blood hasn't thinned yet. I'm a transplant to the south, but I truly love it here. I still have a New England accent which is pretty funny, with a southern twang. I will be brave one of these days and make a video. You can have a laugh on me! :D I know, I sound funny~
What do you do when the winter doldrums, I mean ho hums strike? I am still working on my 1000 photos, finding things that I have and consider gifts. I will share more pics soon. What gives you joy these days? Now, now...don't fear Friday the 13th. I have had a lot of luck on this day.
This was a gift, from my friend Abby. It goes with my theme to find Joy, in the ordinary. Thank you Abby, it is beautiful!

Skyrim and The Walking Dead - sounds like a geek's paradise. And I agree about July. Hate humidity. No wonder the settlers headed out west.
I watched Mao's Last Dancer this afternoon, a good way to spend a gray January afternoon - fabulous true story and dancing.
Take care........
I want to see a video of your accent!!! :)

I hope by the time January ends you will begin to feel a bit uplifted,
Take care.
Will be thinking of you.

I'll be back soon.....just need time to think.
Take care.

I'm also not big on July and August because they are so blamed hot. I can't handle heat, either. I'm middle fo the road, edging to cool/cold. I think that's why I love blue.
I feel the duldrom's in January too.. I am sorry it's not your month.. I have a difficult time all winter,... seasonal light...but I am feeling good... so far.. and that is rare... for January.. I am on my 2nd day of Detox... too... I am NEVER bored either.. but that cooped up feeling ... and it hasn't even snowed... I hear you.

you've turned this month around
Winter showed up here for the 1st time yesterday and has been pounding on the windows all day today.
Hope you're feeling better. Maybe curl up with some cocoa and a good book? A good art project? Take your thoughts to a better place. :)
Ollie-Yes, a wise monk would know fun is necessary. Just what would a wise monk think is fun?! Thanks Ollie, you made me smile! :D
Leigh-Thank you; I'm better ;D
Hope life is going well, for you~
LisaRenee-Yes, it goes with the season. I have had SADD, when I lived in Alaska. It was hard, we had moved there in January. Once I met some people, got a job, life was much better~ Thanks! Oh, I'm trying to take a 1000 photos of gifts I already have. Simple things that make one smile or finding joy in the ordinary! Yes, it was a fun time; thanks for stopping by!
Melissa-I'm a middle gal, too~
I don't like it too cold or too hot! Humidity makes me wilt!
Marjorie-Yes, I would say so! I love it when we have a longer Fall season. Where I am originally from, there was always a big chance of snow. Beautiful part of our country, where you are! :D
Yvonne-I'm so sad and sorry to hear this! I wish he would listen to you and work things out. He should you could of pressed charges. (((hugs)))
Kitty-Yes, it is the perfect time of year to snuggle and enjoy the cocoa! ;D
Georgie-I will be by; you are always doing something fun! ;D
Wanda-Thank you, I'm doing much better :D
Jules-;D Yes, and we will have to share our story of a ghost, bears and a crazy cyclist. Someday...

Yes, it will pass and soon we will complain about the intense heat! :D
Vicki-Yes, that is the attitude I should have! Thank you @>---
Yvonne-So have you, dear friend~

Abby's beautiful creative gift looks just beautiful ..
Cheers for now .. Hilary
