The Girl in Pajamas

A blog of cynicism, judgment and sarcasm from the comfort of my bed.


Second day of 2024

It’s the morning of the second day of 2024. And would you believe it, I’ve caught a cold!

Didn’t we start 2023 with me catching COVID? Now if that’s any indication of how 2024 is about to turn out, I might as well not bother trying.

You know, W.C. Fields has said, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.” So I have been trying since 2019. That was the year I got my second bought of depression, 2020, that was the year I almost had a holiday, 2021, that was the year people died, 2022, that was the year I joined the C+ club and 2023 began with me still in recovery. Overall, 2023 wasn’t so bad in comparison to previous years but I did lose my mind at some point.

You’d think I’d stop trying by now. But look, maybe 1st day didn’t work out, but I still got the first week or the first month. See, I’m optimistic!

Now let me get a box of tissues for my runny nose and wallow in self pity for now.
