November Funk

People, New Englanders especially, always complain about becoming depressed or blue during the month preceding winter. I have never been privy to these feelings of despair. I tend to remain content during the winter months, but this year may prove different. It may be that the time of year has nothing to do with this, it's possible it's just circumstances being he way they are. but either way I'm feeling a little down these days. not depressed, you understand, just down. Lots of wandering around the house simply because I feel I have nothing else to do, or grouching at everyone because everthing feels the same and couped up and beating down on me. now of course that isn't the way it actually is, but that's the way this venerable month makes it feel. Short days and long cold nights will do that.

I like to call these November Doledrums...
