Where’s January?

Dear January,

Where have you gone? Wasn’t it just yesterday that I was celebrating my birthday? Suddenly, February is tapping me on the shoulder and telling me I need to flip my calendar.

You’ve been a rough month, despite the fact that I had a really great birthday. The Killers cancelled their concert here and it absolutely ruined my Friday. For two consecutive Fridays, I was hit by unexpected bad news and had to pacify irate bosses.

Both my knees are busted – it hurts when I walk, when I stand in my heels for too long.

I’m tired.

I’m not sure you were the start that I was looking for but now that it’s over, it can only get better, can’t it?

Dear February,

Please go gentle on me.
