Look at this weather. WHY is it snowing again? I just got rid of the crap. My birthday is in 9 days. If it’s snowing on my birthday, I will cry. For real. Not fair!

I’ve got crazy tension in my neck lately, and I don’t know why. It’s gotten to the point where tilting my head hurts like crazy, and sitting down in my chair makes me want to lay my head down and sleep. I think part of that is because I’m tired, though. I can’t seem to get enough sleep lately. It’s not that I’m -not- sleeping, I’m just not sleeping enough. Maybe I need to hibernate. It’s the season, I tell you.

Wouldn’t that be nice, though? You could curl up in a ball and sleep until the snow went away and the sun came back out… You’d never feel cold or slip on the ice, or be afraid to drive because people automatically lose 50 IQ points if there’s snow on the ground. But at the same time, you’d never see a snowman or hear the snow crunch under your shoes or see an icicle hanging off of a rooftop. You’d never go sledding, or skiing, or snowboarding, or have a snowball fight.

I guess snow is fun. Now I want to take pictures of it! Except right now, it’s almost 3 am, and I want to sleep. Maybe I’ll slip into hibernation anyway.

It’s SO snowy outside. I might take a picture. We went to go get Matt’s new phone for work tonight, then we went to a buffet for dinner and ate like pigs. Okay, not really, but it was delicious!

After that, we went and saw Matt’s brother. He just got out of the hospital after having surgery to remove a tumor from his brain… Scary stuff. Watching hospital dramas doesn’t help with the scariness, either. He’s looking pretty good, though. He seemed a tiny bit disoriented but he was walking and talking and he seemed okay. I’m glad he’s okay.

I can’t believe Christmas is so soon! We still have a bunch of people to shop for, but we have to figure out WHAT to get them first! I’m sure we’ll think of something.

This winter I vow to actually try to enjoy it. I know it sounds simple, but as I’ve posted multiple times recently, winter is a rough season for me. But this year I’ll pull through it. I have to!

My inspiration? These pictures. Winter really is gorgeous. I need to remember that and I need to give myself permission to relax and enjoy it. Everything will be fine, right?
