  (I’m in them.)

  1.  Winter won’t quit.

  2.  It’s cold as [something really, really cold].

  3.  There hasn’t been a drop of sun for the past four days and it is not expected for the next three.

  4.  I’m calcium-deficient.  (Obviously.)

  5.  It’s still insanely dark, morning and night.

  6.  The fluid behind my eyeballs is pushing them in the wrong direction.  (Though I guess too far in the right direction is the wrong direction too.)

  7.  My feet are cold.  (What, you thought #2 covered that?)

  8.  People are being demanding and whiny this week.

  9.  The kid upstairs is better at Italian than I am.  (He knows the word for “ferret,” which I definitely do not.)

  10.  Other annoying things.

  11.  See?  I’m too SAD even to finish my doldrums list.

  12.  Static electricity.

  (Yes, I know there are worse things, but you know what they say, He Who Never Complains Goes Down The Drain.)

  (No, nobody says that.)
