First post of the year... this feels odd, like it's supposed to be momentous. Oh well.

I'm really sick of winter. Not that I wasn't before, but now that Christmas is over, I want it to be summer again. Or spring at least. I think I definitely have some version of seasonal affective disorder, because all this dark is driving me crazy. It's weird because I'm such a night owl too! But I work from 9-6, so there's that brief glimmer of day during the ten minute drive to work, but usually it's grey and cloudy. Then inside all day, and not even close to a window =(. Then by the time I leave, the sun's already set! Argh. I miss my hour-long lunches in the park soaking up sunshine... those helped a lot. Now it's too cold to do that.

Well. I will keep in mind that when summer does come here, it comes full force, with sun till 9!

:sigh: I know that feeling. Can you put a full spectrum light on your desk? And perhaps a flowering plant?

Full spectrum light sounds like a pretty good idea! Actually, any sort of light sounds like a good idea ;). I feel kind of bad because I know I should not waste electricity, but bright rooms make me happy. It drives me crazy when I go to the boy's parent's place, because they turn off all the lights and only light candles! Nice for atmosphere, but I can't see or read at all.

Poor plants will probably die =(. My apartment's shaded by trees and facing inward... I had a calla lily in here and it was extremely unhappy.
