Not being able to see the wood from the trees doesn't quite sum up this month.

It's more like you can't see the blindfold factory because you are trying on a blindfold.

You can see the distinction here: in a wood at least you can take a step back to see the trees (unless you are in the unlikely situation that your nose is stuck in a knot in a tree). If you have a blindfold on you can see nothing but the inside of the blindfold... Twist your neck too and fro, no difference. That's this month in a concise metaphor or was that an analogy? it's at times like this that we start to wonder if we have been looking up at the stars too much and need to do some readin'.

Congestion, perhaps involving road traffic, problems with your cellphone network or possibly mucus, are all set to pepper this month with problems of the waiting, waiting, and coughing-sneezing kind.

Certainty over an old saying could be tested by a three year old child this month. Beware.
