I'm out of sorts today. There's no explanation for why. Just feeling blue.
I tried all my usual tricks for feeling better — Zevon, Coke Zero, a magazine. Still disconsolate.
So I turned on all the Christmas lights and read a little bit more. Then I realized there was still an unused string of lights I hadn't put up yet: Bumbles! I recognize the true meaning of Christmas with Nativity scenes and Advent calendars. But I also have a few items from "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town."
So now I have Bumbles all around my bathroom mirror. So I will have a little Bumbles glow tonight as I get ready for bed, and tomorrow as I get ready for work.
And compared to Bumbles, I look good. All better.
