The Shushing Librarian and the Wintertime Blues - Part 1

The Shushing Librarian here again. Happy 2011.

Glad to be here once again guest posting for Auntie Nettie while she's off doing something or other. I don't know what exactly. She was last seen slogging through the January slush/snow/ice/rain mix toward a train, when she was engulfed in a person-sized wave of goop from the splashing of a passing car, so who knows where she'll wash up.

As for me, can I level with you?I'm having a hard time with the snow too. The drifts are burying me.It's driving me crazy.It's really ringing my bell.I'm a basket-case.Some days I get home from the office, feeling like I've been wrung out and hung up to dry.I've tried self-medicating with all kinds of things.
The old stand-by of chocolate,
mashed potatoes, and ice cream seemed to help ... a little. I decided to seek out some advice on how to deal with the winter blues.

My colleague, The Roaming Gnome,
predictably told me to go on a tropical vacation. Hate to tell you R.G., my excursion to the Dole pineapple farm didn't help.

I just managed to remember how much I hate pineapple,
and then I picked up another bug on the plane trips.

I had to resort to more drugs.

While I was in a NyQuil induced fog, I had visions of a wise
Jedi Master who gave me some unexpected advice:

But maybe that was the alcohol in the NyQuil talking?
