It Begins

Well, here we go.  We got our first snow of the season that stuck to the ground last night.  Not much really but the forecast is calling for an inch today and another 2 inches tonight.  I don’t suspect we will get that much at all but the temperature will certainly allow it.  It’s VERY cold outside.  I’m not a big fan of winter up here in the north woods.  This season lasts FOREVER and a day and it’s generally not good for my mental health.  There is nothing I hate more than being stuck inside OR stuck on the side of the road for that matter, it drives me crazy and it makes me lazy.

Speaking of lazy, yesterday was a VERY lazy day.  I didn’t do anything all day long.  I did discover that my ceiling fan in the living room has lights in it and so I did clean that thing all up and get those working but I spent all day either messing around on the computer or watching TV.  Despite how that sounds, I do need days like that where I don’t have to do anything.  Days when I can just sit around and do whatever I want, whenever I want.  It is rare that I get that sort of opportunity so I take full advantage of it when I do.  I decided yesterday that I would also start selling stuff again on eBay.  Looking ahead to Christmas, it would be nice to have a few extra bucks available to spend on gifts this year.  So, we’ll see if I can make any money selling some of the shit I don’t need anymore on eBay.  Even though I cleaned out my entire life during the move last year and I actually donated about 30 bags of stuff to Good Will, I still have tons of stuff that I just don’t need or use.  Why keep it if I’m not ever going to use it, wear it, or look at it???

Today I’m going to go out to the cottage.  I was going to spend the weekend out there but then I got lazy yesterday and never made it out of the house.  I think I’ll take Gavin over to Lake Michigan and maybe go up to Glen Arbor for some coffee.  It’s gonna be COLD today so I’m not sure how long I’ll last but it will be more productive than sitting around here all day.
