I HATE WINTER!!!!!!

I HATE WINTER!  Have I yelled it loudly enough yet!  I’m so sick and tired of being cold. I’m miserable, the day is dreary,  its too cold to do the things I love on the weekend like leadlighting cause its TOO DAMN COLD – even with 4 layers of clothing (I can barely still move) and the heater on in the shed!
Its also depressing…. Bring on summer, I just can’t wait.

Its not like me to be depressed.  I’m the sort of person who jumps out of bed at 6.00 am on a weekend cause there are so many wonderful things that I want to fit into my day – at the moment I’m bored all day long in front of the computer and heater.  I read a whole book this weekend – this may sound great, but to me it signifies lots of wasted time that I could have been spending on other things. There’s plenty of time to read at night, I like to use my days a bit more productively.  Plus I’ve got no where comfy and warm to curl up and read….until tomorrow that is.  A couple of weeks ago I ordered a chesterfield sofa and it comes TOMORROW – yeeeaaaah.  I have a leather lounge suite in the lounge, but hubby is always in there watching TV, which I’m not really in to, so at night I like to read (or watch the occasional different TV programme) in our formal sitting room.  But the seats in there are old and uncomfortable  - but not for long hey! Will try and post some piccy’s when it arrives.

I guess I shouldn’t be so miserable, cause I also bought a new treadmill yesterday on ebay.  I have sold my old one to someone at work, because it doesn’t go fast enough for my running, and have bought a You Beaut one.  It goes up to 18 km/hr, has 24 programmes including speed intervals and incline intervals, individual programme settings, automatic incline and all the normal readings.  Plus a 50 cm wide belt which is wider than most, and more comfortable to run on I think.  Can’t pay for it until Thursday when I get paid, and then on Friday I will get $500 back from the person who has bought mine.  I hope its as good as it sounds, cause they are so much cheaper on Ebay.  Any of the ones I’ve looked at in stores are over $2,000  (and this one is supposed to retail for $2,500) and I bought it for $860. Quite the bargain hey – well as long as its as good as its meant to be…. The proof will be in the pudding as they say – will let you know how the “feast” progresses when it arrives.

I don’t know why I’m so depressed then, life is really pretty good, I should be exceptionally  excited with all my new purchases.  But then again, its winter AND dreary AND raining, and this is what this weather does to you, it just depresses me!!!!

Weigh in tomorrow, and I’m hoping to be under 64 kgs this time –although that would mean a 1kg loss for the week, so I guess I’m setting my expectations a bit high.  Maybe I’ll go for a bit of a walk on my old treadmill while I still can, in the hope of tipping the scales in my favour tomorrow. Might quell my hunger.

See ya
