Okay, okay...funk's over. I feel better today. I think it was the holiday blues combined with my SAD. You have it, too, don't you? I mean have you looked outside? Dreary, overcast, drizzly...blaaaaaah. How's a girl supposed to pick up her attitude without a little sunshine? I deal with my seasonal affective disorder every year to some extent, but usually not this early. At least today it's not cold, so that helps. I actually thought about purchasing one of those sun lamps last year. I wonder if that really works? I mean, they say it works, but really? A lamp of sunshine rays to improve your mood? It sounds a bit Minority Report for me...but who knows. Can't you just see me sitting at my desk with those goofy tanning glasses on? Wouldn't that be fun? Maybe I should seriously consider this.
So I got to get really mad about the school board last night - that helped redirect some of my aggression away from the stupidity of my husband's family's method of handling Christmas this year...and then I came home, had some wine, watched the Bears...or tried to...but I fell asleep. Whoops. They were winning by quite a bit when I finally crashed. I guess Grossman looked good - but I still don't think they'll make it, kids.
I got mad, I had wine, I got sleep, I woke up this morning and picked up the house a bit since the lovely ladies that clean my house are at my house right now. YES! Now THERE's a spirit lifter! Oh stop it! Yes, I have people clean my house. Scottish is up there in Michigan talking about how borgeouis I am. Whatever! It takes two women 6 hours. SIX. That's a total of 12 hours. It's a big house! Have we talked about this before? Anyway...my house will be clean and Kev-head and I are going Christmas shopping tonight. I have a list of items and places to get them, so I think we're ready to go go go. Now we'll see if the holiday crowds and traffic can manage to suck the life out of me. I have at least one cocktail stop planned...so maybe we can get through. Maybe I should plan a 'to go' cocktail as well. Hmmmm, that could make it better. Or maybe it will just make me tired. Well we can't have that, I have things to do and right now I'm actually motivated to do it! We'll see how long it lasts. I've got decorating and cookies planned for tomorrow night, bowling on Thursday and the final decorating/cookie touches on Friday.
I've ordered my Christmas cards and I can pick them up from Costco tomorrow...brilliant! See? I'm on a roll...be proud of me. Remind me to tell you the story of the library book..it's no cookie story but it's pretty good.

It's 4:00 p.m. Look out your window, it's still light outside, your sad will be over soon-bring on spring and light
Come to Arizona, Rebecca. We've got lots of sunshine - 'course we desparately need rain - but no possibility of SAD here.
Come one down!
Or, come on down. (A bit too much wine, I guess - either that or just a bad typist!)
I like the wine excuse, let's go with that. Would love to come down to AZ!!! It's cold, cold, cold here.
