Stupid evil cold wintry coldness. I personally normally love this time of year, but since I have a home I just purchased in desperate need of roofing work and new windows I can't wait for it to be spring so I can fix my house and get out from under the weight of knowing it needs to be done.

Tending to my plants has worked for me this year to some degree. I love to cook so I started a small inside garden with basil, and rosemary and sage and such and decided to turn my utility room into a small garden. It tricks me into thinking spring for a short time and all the green in there is nice to see when it's so bad outside.
