The first couple weeks of January are just so … well, “blah.” The excitement and energy of Christmas has passed. The living room looks empty and sad without the Christmas tree and decorations. Vacations are over. It’s back to the grind with a whole year staring us in the face.
Maybe I’m being a little melodramatic, but I always find the first days of the new year a little depressing. I guess it’s just tough to get back into the swing of things. On Monday, it took all my energy to drag myself out of bed. I hadn’t worked a Monday — or a full, five-day week — in three weeks. Oh, 5:30 a.m. came so early.
I’m halfway through the work week and starting to feel a little more normal. I’m sure by the end of next week, I’ll be juggling a busy schedule and cruising right along. But for the moment, I’m mourning the passing of another year, another holiday season.
Although, the retailers are already stocking Valentine’s Day and Easter candy, so I’m sure Christmas will be here again before I know it.
