Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

I wish I could say something about "another dollar" here, in a gainful sense, but I won't lie. As rarely as I've been working lately, I am definitely becoming more accustomed to the role of consumer. I have about a three month streak of negative production going on here.
It seems that every time I get started on a project, be it anything from organizing a junk drawer to producing massive content uploads, something crops up. I'm down a computer right now (although that problem will soon be corrected) so my time at my workstation has been chipped away at a fairly constant rate. Admittedly, the time I've lost has gone to productive concerns, but it pains me, nonetheless.
I'm still not quite out of the mire of depression (seasonal, cyclical or otherwise) and, of course, am having trouble remembering my (natural and holistic, not pharmacological) medication. That only makes it more difficult to climb out of this pit. I'm not really enjoying the cold all that much. My boots are, quite literally, falling apart and uncomfortable to wear. I can't seem to find any socks around here that don't make my feet sweat buckets (and then freeze shortly, thereafter). Getting outside and absorbing what little sunlight I could to help reverse the effects of being a veritable shut-in is, then, a thoroughly dreadful experience.
I have promised myself, in spite of all this boo-hoo-ery, that I will add something to the site daily. Perhaps, like today, a blog entry and rearranging a few things to make better use of organizational constraints (like book hierarchy depth). I also plugged away at one of a series of new graphics for the site, but feel I achieved little on that front.
Life is just bleh at the moment. I've spent most of my time lately loafing and feeling sorry for myself. I long for warmer days, not because I particularly enjoy them, but for the increase in working hours and pay. I desire more direct sunlight, again, not because I like it, but for the increased ability of my body to synthesize certain nutrients.
Regardless of how much I want to sit here all night and worsen my carpal tunnel and further irritate my rotator cuff and lumbar intervertebrals, I am working (for money!) tomorrow and must sleep.
Perhaps tomorrow evening, I'll have better focus.
