January started off with such fervor and enthusiasm, looking forward to an amazing year and being so completely grateful for the wonderful things in my life.

Well, I don’t know what happened, but in the last two weeks I have come down with a mad case of the crankies. It lasts through the day, from grrr-owly mornings to emotion-filled evenings.

Is it just me? Last week, I swore that it was an onslaught of Seasonal Affective Disorder, as I was a bear to get out of bed and refused to eat anything that wasn’t entirely sugar-based. (Luckily, the first Cadbury eggs of the season are on shelves!) And, the most depressing day of the year was this week, Blue Monday, it’s called. Fantastic.

Here’s to next week not containing ‘The Most Depressing Day of the Year’. Things are looking up!

However, I can’t stop listening to the ‘Juno’ soundtrack, which is fantastic and full o’ pep. My favourite today is ‘Loose Lips’ by Kimya Dawson. Do-do do do do…
