Blue

This endless grey or endless icy is doing my head in literally . im strugling with motivation and trivial health woes and just cant seem to give myself a big enough kick up the arse to get moving. I know the winter always gets me down so my usual coping stratergies are in place. Set myself small targets every day and try to achieve them.  Ive got every SAD light bulb in the universe on, plus grow lights for the current houseplant jungle.  So its watch dpressing TV or read, thats as far out of the fog as ive got , bring on Spring im sat tapping my foot waiting .

Why does the family think im mad its only a small bowl of potting compost in the microwave ? answers on a postcard or in the comments

  1. I can't recall such a grey winter as this - I quite like cold bright days but not freezing and damp foggy and wet day after day - When the Sun does show its face I feel much brighter - As it has today here - Compost in your microwave is quite acceptable really - If a scarecrows head was in there that may cause them concern though x

  2. We've been rather grey here as well with the occasional day of bright sunlight - but those are the days that it tends to be sub-arctic here so you are so bundled up that you still don't get any Vit. D. You might try supplementing with Vit. D. - it really does seem to help.

    One of the reasons that I still work part-time is that it forces me to get up, get dressed and get out of the house at least 3 days a week - otherwise I'd tend to hibernate until March!

  4. I brought in a frozen bag of potting soil from the garage and it's been two days defrosting on the dining room table. I understand. Mary in Maine
