There is good gloom, and there is bad gloom. Today was gloomy in a bad way. It was dark, cold, and with just enough wind to feel assaulted, rather than, say…caressed. Several late nights at work and an election this week have prevented longer walks, but I think the real reason is a lack of motivation. Crazy, because the days of walking home via the river valley are coming to a close. I’ll still walk, but it will be on well-lit streets, partly in the river valley, but not on the trails unless it’s the weekend. Until mid-January, when the light starts to return. Must be ‘walking fatigue’. Happens every now and then. I blame work.
