Finished Friday

Finished Friday with a yo-ho-ho and a long afternoon of tedium. Tough to do anything when 99% of everyone, from the bottom-up-top-down-sideways-and-back have mentally checked out. Did it, but with a sluggishness that says, "Yep, it's the middle of February."

Feb's not quite the same as July: no one's TGIFing or looking forward to the weekend. Nothing to go home for the weekend to. Some places there's snow, some places there's slush, some places there may be sunny skies (although the weatherman's says differently this weekend) - all places there are Christmas bills that came in January and have hit their deadlines now. Tight cash. But even without the tight cash, there's just the muffled thud of winter.

Slept in this morning, which was nice. Now to face the dull day of freedom.

Could be worse. Could be March.
