The credit card bills are arriving from those holiday shopping sprees. Vacations are over. And that New Year's resolution to start jogging in the mornings has fallen prey to the snooze button.
Feeling down? Dr. Cliff Arnall thought so.
Today is the most depressing day of the year, according to a formula created by Arnall, a British psychologist. His formula takes into account the debt and failed fresh starts that abound this time of year, as the glow of Christmas and New Year's fades.
Not coincidentally, the day falls on a Monday. "It's back to the usual routine: job, looking for a job, kids to school," and so on, Arnall said.
It doesn't help that the weather - another factor in the equation - is dreary in Wales, where he lives, this time of year.
But even Florida's fabulous weather poses problems: Lawns need mowing, fleas bite, and we can't wear those smart winter styles.
Another reason to be sad is that the football season is almost over....and Indianapolis got in.
