same_skyMy eyes are burning like mad. Apparently, my brilliant idea of getting up at five this morning was utter crap. My idea of getting up at five? Yes, well. SOMEONE had the brilliant idea and I'd hate to think I'm not my own boss so let's just move on. I figured that since I was up and awake and it was nearly 6:30 by the time sleeping was an option again, I might as well stay up for the day. Bad move, yo. I have been fairly worthless all day.
How funny! I drifted off into thought about how weather also affects mood, and how hard it was to get motivated on such a grey, dreary day. Then I got interrupted by the dietary needs of my toddler (is it weird that she loves to eat tomatoes? Carrie looked shocked when I diced a tomato for her. And also when I fed her a pickle.) and such, and then realized that hey! I am feeling better! Maybe we should go shopping this afternoon, get out of the house, gear up for the weekend! I sat back down, glanced up at the window... and suddenly, the sun is out for the first time all day and the leaves on the tree are filling the window with gold and green and red. My mood actually improved from a sudden change in the weather before I even noticed that it had changed. People are so... impressionable.
But I'm still sleepy and there's nothing the weather can say to change my mind.
Maybe I should stop talking to the weather, and get a hobby or something.
I am absolutely dying for Mexican. It sounds sooo good. I have made a huge stack of quesadillas lately but that isn't satisfying my cravings. I want to go out, but am being buried under a heapload of fiscal responsibility and so I will not be suggesting it. Plus, I have a bunch of fresh ingredients that need cooked--I have not cooked meals for all of us this week much because my poor husband has been working late three days out of four. I don't want carrors or celery, though, I want CHEESE and CHIPS and SALSA. And chicken. I guess I could go get a rotisserie chicken and make Carrie's Mexican chicken (which I would totally link to if I were not so fricking lazy--I'm apparently too lazy to do a lj user name link today, much less go find an actual URL) and then fry some chimichangas myself. I haven't done that in a long time. Hmm.. maybe I will. I think E and I need to get out of the house anyway. Crap. Now I have a plan. That requires me to get off my hiney and get cracking, so I guess that's the end of this post.

Date: 2008-11-08 09:12 am (UTC)I have noticed since moving here that my moods are governed more than I'd like to admit by the weather conditions. Grey and cloudy can be enough to dampen my will. And sunshine with blue skies can make even a sucky day feel good.
