RUMORS OF SOLSTICE

The temperature is rising here in Gainsboro, this tiny nonentity of a Tennessee town. Frigid in November..... tropical in December? It's supposed to be near 70 degrees (Fahrenheit) on Christmas! Have I been secretly transported back to Los Angeles??

I'm wondering what it's like back at my TN home on King's Mountain. It's always cooler there (and I wonder if I'll ever see it again.........)

There's a rumor that today is the winter solstice. Is it true?

WELCOME TO WINTER!

The biggest winter storms in the area where I live always happen in January and February - - every year like clockwork.

Well, you didn't come here for a dang weather report. You want to read my beautifully emotional poetic sentiments (like in my previous post).

I'm not always poetic. Lately I'm in a rotten, foul, hopeless, perpetually depressed mood. I'm feeling very weak mentally and physically. I've lost a lot of weight. I'm not making satifactory progress. I have to FORCE myself to do anything.

But if I don't force myself, I'll be in this cursed place forever....or the insurance co. will drop me (most likely).

I don't like physical therapy here. It's completely haphazard and sporadic.The therapy back in Signature was much better. There was a goal and purpose. Here no inspiring goal exists. It's all uninspiring.

Well, Christmas will be here in a few days. Everyone should be ecstatic.

Peace on Earth......no way

Joy to the World......joy??

Face it, boys and girls. Christmas is a big fantasy. Not to mention a big money-making racket.

Brainwashing you with an avalanche of sentimentally. I'm extremely sentimental, but I don't want to be spoon-fed with it.

Goodwill Toward Men.....what about women and whatever else there is (he says with tongue in cheek).

Seriously, I'm not trying to spoil your holiday fun.

Not much, anyway.

Heck, nobody is reading blogs during frenzied Xmas week.

You're too busy trying to get your WalmartMadeinChina plastic and tinfoil tree set up.

....and preparing to welcome 486 of your magnificent family and faithful friends. Lucky you. I don't have family or friends.

Possibly, lucky me.

Well, now that I trashed Christmas, what else should I do?
