So, on this last day of February, I switched my iPhone off. I also logged out of Twitter and turned off my email. Basically because I don't want to post any more updates similar to
the last one I posted on Friday night. I know Groupie's been trying to contact me - probably all day - but I don't feel like talking to her right now. Oh, I could talk all night - but I rather doubt any of it would make sense to anyone. I'm not sure it even makes sense to me. Perhaps I've finally gone over the edge - and who wants to talk to someone like that?
I found today I got on a lot better by simply not talking or even thinking about anything. Just went into work, did my job, walked home because I didn't want to face public transport, and spent most of the rest of the day lying on my bed resting up. I haven't even felt like eating much - a bowl of cereal this morning, some peanut butter sandwiches & crisps, and about a litre of Drench - that's about it.
I did spend a little time in the city core though, looking around for a t-shirt to buy as a gift for someone (long story, and I'm not going to go into it here - not that it matters because I couldn't find what I was looking for anyway) And it was there that I saw a goth-type girl with her boyfriend. He had a chain around his neck and she was holding said chain tight in her hand as she led him into the shop. And it made me smile, because it's not often you see something like that up here - something "different" and "edgy", and I welcome it.
As well as this, I saw the first bee of spring this morning, a large one slowly buzzing about - presumably a young queen who woke up from her hibernation, perhaps this morning. Later on, I saw a butterfly for the first time in 2009 as well.
And those two points are really why I'm bothering to blog today. I wasn't going to bother - not in the mood I'm in, but I felt they were worth mentioning. Plus, it rounds off the month of February pretty well. If "pretty well" are the right words to use in this case.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to go back to bed. Goodnight.

I feel like this - and the way you did in your last post - around this time every year. I've just come out of my intensely antisocial phase of winter. The phone gets unplugged, I turn my mobile off, I say no to social engagements, and just shut down a bit. I need that time off. I love it.
An ex-boyfriend of mine pointed out that "Everything needs darkness if it's going to grow." (He used to write moody lyrics for the long-haired band he was in.) It makes sense to me, though.
In other news, I saw a massive bumble-bee crawling along the pavement yesterday, and I picked it up and moved it to a shrub.
Hello Antonia - thanks for the comment, feedback's always appreciated!!
Yeah, I tend to close in on myself every winter to a greater or lesser extent...some years are better than others though. This winter's been particularly bad due to "relationship" trouble which I've mentioned on a semi-regular basis here all through the winter it seems...
I like your ex-boyfriend's quote - will have to remember that the next time I feel down like this. Which hopefully won't be till the clocks go back again :)
Also, well done on giving the bumblebee a "helping hand". I've always been very fond of bees & look forward to their return every spring.
Thanks again for dropping by - hope you'll stay a while.
