The true truth about things is that January has been a slight amount of a bummer for me.  I have had a small sadness which has most likely been made worse by a good old fashioned case of seasonal affective disorder.  When I say small I mean it because I know that my sadness has been featherweight compared to the heaviness of other possible sadnesses to be had in the world.  Events of this month have led me to the conclusion that I must give up my bug.  Some of you may know that my car up until this point has been a VW Beetle convertible.  It was and continues to be my dream car.  It was the first thing I bought when I had enough money after I started working a big girl job and it was a pretty triumphant day as I have wanted one since before I can remember.  And now it is time to let it go.  I realize that forming an attachment to an object (and particularly a car) is quite a silly thing to do.  But I can’t help but feel like over the years it has become a small part of me.  Not to mention it was paid off and now I will have car payments again.  Yuck.  So now I will be getting a new car.  One that I frankly don’t want.  A car like a Honda or Toyota that is a practical and mature decision because it is attractive, reasonably priced, more reliable and cheaper to fix if it needs repairs.  Blah blah blah.  So I will allow myself this last day of January to feel a tiny bit sorry for myself and sorry for my poor little bug.  I will be listening to this playlist with some of the songs I have been enjoying lately.  I hope you guys enjoy them too.  I promise I intend to be more upbeat in February.
