For the past few days, I have not been feeling like my usual chipper self. I could not define the feeling, but it was somewhere in the vicinity of bothered, crabby, anxious, inadequate. At first I thought it was that I was tired after my big weekend (well, big for me) and then I was thinking that maybe I was getting sick. Last night I called Jenny to catch up with her since I had not talked to her since Egg Harbor and was telling her about my mood. She said, "Well, it is February" and it was as if a light bulb went on. Oh, yeah! In addition to the darkness and cold of this month, we have also had quite a few family traumas in the past six or seven Februarys. All Jenny had to say was "February" and it was clear to me that she was right, whether I realized it or not. That really helped me to acknowledge it.
Today at work our OT Sally was doing scooter races with the kids. Eventually the adults had to take a turn and here is a video of Sally and me on the scooters. You would be surprised at how much work moving those scooters involves!
