Blue Moon

I'm feeling a bit blue today, which isn't good motivation for getting things done. I had intentions of doing some housecleaning, and maybe even some laundry. But all I have accomplished so far, on this splendid day, is reading the newspaper, hanging out with Eddie, and being a couch cowboy. Yeehaa!
I did, however, find the actual definition of a blue moon, which most people believe to be the second full moon in the same month. But that is not correct. The phrase was originally coined (created) by farmers quite a few blue moons ago. A blue moon is the third full moon in a season that has four full moons. A season, of course, has three months, or thereabouts, such as spring or fall. So, there you have it.
Anyroad (the original word that was replaced by anyway), I don't think I will get much cleaning done today. And that's ok. I will take some time to go over my current Mandarin lesson, do some pleasure reading, be pestered by Eddie, and maybe eat some cherries that were so kindly given to me.
Tomorrow is another day. I might as well get what enjoyment I can from my blue mood, and ride it out.
Soon enough it will be another full moon. And then, once again, I will have to attempt to track down the werewolf that is terrorizing the city. It's a tough job, but it's a living. As long as I don't get dead.
