don't fence me in

I'm exhausted. From mind numbness to full body fatigue.

I have been working very hard on so many, very different, things. Waitressing, working the tasting bar (fun, fun, fun - chatting up people as you feed them free booze), writing, writing, writing, getting ready for school, hanging out at the beach...

Tomorrow i am working a wedding that has ordered enough wine, beer and cider for every guest to have a litre. Before that i am taking the kids to the annual country fair in our little town where we will ride in the bicycle parade, have cookies and photos judged, and enter doodle the schnoodle in the doggy competition. We are all a little sad that we have no chickens to enter this year.

All of these distractions are good. A busy mind and body has no time to be idle and sad.

I am preparing for some large and small changes in my life. I am getting ready to wind down for the long, dark winter.

I imagine the tasting bar would be fun, since most people would be in a good mood.

Do you get SAD too? I do, even here in So Cal.

Suebob!

I think so. The winters are always harder and since we have had no summer here i am expecting it to be worse this year. Buying a SAD lamp though.

Have a blast at the fair with the kids...take lots of pics of the bike parade, and of course doodle.

My brother has a SAD lamp....it does wonders.

Please do be careful not to burn yourself out too much...although I absolutely understand about keeping busy.

Send over a litre if you have a spare. Hell, send two.

Oh, the winters. SAD is such a very awful thing. I'm especially sensitive to it and so glad to be living in a place with no winter now.
Sounds like your plate is overflowing at the moment, all good things though.

Sweetie, I am right here with and for you. I have to start back up on Wellbutrin now so it has enough time to build up in my system by the time we go off daylight savings time in November and my world basically goes dark. Please feel free to email, message, or call me at ANY TIME.

I get opposite SAD it's so hot here in the summer I hide inside and get bummed. In the winter the temps are so mild we are outside a lot.

Full spectrum light? WORKS. And let me just tell you, it IS possible to overdo it. I used to bug the crap out of co-workers before I knew that! ;-)
