Post holiday blues

Partially, I think, because this past December was so epic, I'm having some January blues. Having trouble with writing, super cranky in general. I'd been hoping to go to Asia with a conference this spring, but it doesn't look like that's going to pan out. (I know, boo hoo, poor me.) I'm taking down the decorations, which is always depressing. It's still so dark. But the tree is crunchy and it's time to go.
