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!

I'm pretty much a mole too, but I know what you mean by dark and gloomy. Unfortunately, winter is only just beginning for us in Toronto! I don't know how it is in California, but we've had fairly warm weather (for late December) and I know the snow storms won't hit until January-March. It's not gonna be pretty! Last year (or was it the year before?) we had a freak blizzard in May! Freakin' May!

(My icon is not totally ironic. I do like snow. Just not that much.)

We've gotten a few nippy nights lately (read: 50s F, hee), but it's mild. I keep telling myself it would be ten times worse in Princeton. Mostly I'm giantly glad we're past solstice and the days are getting longer gradually. I'm ok with cold mostly... it's the lack of sunlight that gets me =(. Grey clouds, yuck yuck!

May blizzard?! Whoa! I was freaked out when it snowed in NJ in April!
