My brain is moving both at the speed of light and at the pace of a snail. I feel like there is a space between it and my actual head. Sort of floating in and out of consciousness, performing acts that seem natural only because I can do them with little thought.

Looking outside isn't that inviting, but I wonder why we have to create our lives around the weather. It makes sense to choose your outfit according to how cold, what type of precipitation is occurring, and so on. But when we go beyond that by creating excuses simply because the weather is making us feel "less adequate" to perform a daily task, we're literally just letting nature be an enemy. I am deciding right now how I would like to embrace this "wintry mix" for a more enjoyable week.
1) I have enough work to do to get me through the day without thinking about what else I could be doing. And the reality of it is, I couldn't really be doing anything else, because I'm already doing what I'm doing.
2) All of this shit-tastic precipitation is getting out of the way now so that once the spring comes we will have a much more enjoyable forecast. All the time.
3) I find relaxation in the pitter patter of the rain.
4) When it's overcast, you never get the glare in your window while you're driving that causes you to be blinded.
5) Only rain makes rainbows.
6) My vinyl white Dr. Martens are best in this kind of weather.
