friday the 13th April 13, 2007

It has been a bit dreary here in New York lately. I feel like the city is in a collective slump. Everyone I have talked to over the past few days has been in a less than lively mood. Lots of emails with “blahhhhhh” and “mreh” as the subject line, lots of droning voice mail messages. Funny how much weather can change your outlook. We were absolutely dumped on yesterday and the temps are definitely sub-Spring. And apparently we’re getting a “nor’easter.” Lots of talk of the nor’easter. Coming from California, I’m not entirely clear on what a nor’easter is, but it sounds ominous, like it hails from Mordor or Middle Earth or something. Beware, the nor’easter. Anyway, I just changed my screensaver to beach paradise in a desperate attempt to channel some warm weather into my life. Very depressing. On a happier note, I got up early today, got a lot of things done that I have been putting off (uh, taxes?) and stuck to the Challenge eating plan–woo hoo! I’ve also been drinking tons of water lately, which has definitely improved my workday energy. And now I’m off to yoga!
