It’s Sunday night and I am ‘in mood’ as we say in my family. This is a nasty combination of pessimism and negativism that all makes me no fun to be around. Best thing to do is to crawl into a hole lest I turn people into salt. Instead I am writing this kvetch.
In my self-analysis of emotions, I conclude a lot of it is stemming from my avoidance of reading and summarizing my 2012 Journal. I am fairly certain I did not make my New Year’s Resolutions, some of them I was really hoping to achieve. Although I there was nothing really wrong with 2012, there is a general sensation time whizzed by and what I did mostly was work and dictate charts. I am a year older and no better. This weekend I fly to Washington to attend Uncle’s Memorial Service; I know this is colouring my moods too. Perhaps I am merely wallowing in self-pity because I have to work tomorrow. But a catalog of complaints makes for poor blog fodder, so I will stop dripping vitriol, swallow my wormwood and go to bed.
WordPress sent out its annual report to The Board of Directors here at Spo-Reflections. They seemed overall pleased I surpassed 1,000,000 viewers this year. I had 293 posts, viewers from 190 countries, and more visitors than the entire population of Lichtenstein. The King and Queen of Comments goes to Ron T. (349) and Anne Marie (245).
My Tarot for the new year summarizes 2013 as “Temperance” and the polar opposite is “The Moon” which means I should calm down and shape up.
I trust I will be better in the morning.

Sometimes when I get this way it just means that I am tired. I hope you get a long winter’s nap. With a blessing for the New Year!

here here! Nothing wrong with a bit of self pity, (is there??? gosh I hope not).
I find it does me good….because if I’m not doing it, then I’m ignoring it, and then that’s even worse, you know?
Whatever the case, I’m wishing you a very happy 2013!
Seriously.

I think you need a haircut for the new year so take a long coffee break from work and go get a buzz. If patients complaint just give them a couple of valiums with a stiff drink. Happy New Year!!!!!!

Sunday night blues, end of Christmas magic, another year draws to a close, auld lang syne, and presents for pretty girls. (I got carried away!)
Many years ago I resolved never to bother with New Year’s resolutions, and I’ve stuck with it ever since. – Dave Beard
