Is it just me, am I the only one in an October funk?

Not sure if I am the only one, but I am finding it increasingly hard to be motivated and do things this fall. The weather, on the whole, has been fine, , a cold front moved in early this week. The morning have, for the first time this fall, required a coat on the way to work, not much gloom with rain, etc.

I am not sure if it is the pending election, and the exhaustion resulting from the build-up, or some other factor, but I am in a funk. Work just plugs along, not much intensity or stress. Family life is quiet and good but I just feel so sapped of energy and vigor lately.

November looks exciting, next Tuesday we vote, a week after that the Wrath of the Lich King comes out for Warcraft (very pumped for this)… then we have Thanksgiving and our traditional driving trip to see family in Ohio, followed by Christmas a few weeks after that. Perhaps October has only been the quiet before the storm and the lull before an exciting Winter. Still can’t shake this rain cloud however…
