lackluster

[anotheranon]

For the past few days I've just not been feeling much. Not bad, not good, just "eh" - my coat is not shiny, my nose is not wet, but I'm up and about and going through the motions.

Waking up (long slow process) to a rainy day today it hit my why this is so: I'm in the middle of the shortest, darkest days of the year when my entire body is telling me to shut down and sleep until March. Christmas/winter has never been a good time of year for me, so I probably shouldn't complain at the step up from "pits of despair" to "eh".

Besides, I have a feeling if I can slog through until the new year that 2007 has the potential to be the Best Year Evar: C. is moving here permanently on the 26th (!), possibly friend and family visits Jan-March, and sewing/fencing plans out the wazoo.

So, yeah.. if I can just make it to Jan. 1....

No wonder our ancestors knew damn well when the solstice happened... *nods knowingly*

Boy howdy, and how!

D. has been politely but pointedly urging me towards our full spectrum lamp that we have for just the purpose of imitating sunlight when there isn't any. I need to start getting out of bed early enough to use it in the mornings - 15 minutes perks me right up, but it is SOOOO warm in bed!

Mikey uses one, too, in the mornings while he stretches. I replaced the lightbulbs in my office lights with full-spectrum, and that makes quite a difference at work. I've heard that some people just turn it on when the alarm goes off, and the light itself wakes them up.
