battling the greige.

have you heard of the "greige" ? its the blues that you get in seattle when the weather is gross and chilly and grey and wet for months at a time and it hangs over you, with an imperceptible downward pressure, and keeps you drinking and addicted to caffeine and looking at your toes cuz the mountains are never visible, and feeling like nothing is possible. and wishing yourself away from here. battling the greige is a losing proposition every year, but then it finally lifts and sunny manic panic hits and everything feels perfect. for about three months. and then its back... its a weird way to live, but it gets you in its cycle and you have a hard time getting out...
so, we are being sucked down by the greige. i think i might battle it harder than luka. that one doesnt resist as much, generally...

this is not something to be worried about, btw. its just what happens. to everyone. and it passes. we will come out of this by april. or may. or june, depending...
