the winter blahs

blah, blah, blah: i think the majority of the people i know are experiencing the winter "blah's". indications that you have the blah's: no desire to do anything, easily bored, feeling alone, the words 'ho hum' come easily to mind. part of it may be the weather. it's cold. damn cold. my skin is like sandpaper and no amount of lotion has been keeping up with the moisture that the air is sucking out of my skin each day. i desperately need to fight the blah's and start feeling a bit more in control.

amazon.com: i really do love shopping with amazon.com. it's fairly easy to do and the prices are fairly competitive. my only bug is that i have the prime membership which is supposed to give you free two-day shipping on prime-worthy items. lately though, the timing is more like 4 or 5 days and i'm quite upset about that. the holidays are over and volumes shouldn't be that high that you can't get a package out and delivered on time, as promised.

fedex: and on the shipping rant, i'm a bit peeved that i ordered something from a company that uses fed ex. they've rescheduled delivery twice now and attempted to deliver the package at 5:30 pm yesterday (a saturday). but i didn't find that out through a doorknob sign. they didn't leave any indication that anyone even stopped at the house. better yet, the website is totally bogus and there's still no indication as to whether or not they will require a signature for the package. i'm glad to sign a "leave it here" release, but you need to release the release in order for me to do so.

see. i have a bad case of the winter blahs. if you have any suggestions on how to get over it, please let me know. i'm desperate.
