Happy Valentine’s day. And by that I don’t mean I hope someone bought you a card or really anything. What I hope is that people in your life show you through their actions that you are loved.
Today is the day that I begin to show that to myself by getting back on the exercise wagon. [...]
I have a lot to write about. And a lot to be grateful for.
Which is something that doesn’t exactly help when you feel like crap and don’t want to do anything. and then you feel guilty for feeling like crap and not wanting to do anything. Or talk about it, really.
You’d think I could at [...]
Last summer all the talk was that the Farmers’ Almanac said the 2008-2009 winter was going to be more "typical" or what we interpreted as "old fashioned."
Today it is below zero and we’ve got plenty of snow to make Christmas white. It went above zero for a few hours today, but I don’t think the [...]

Hey Dear!
So I thought we’d take part in this because, you know, our relationship hasn’t been all that smooth over the years. Probably because I live too much in my head and haven’t appreciated often enough what you bring to this existence. Even [...]

I haven’t been using my light regularly. I haven’t been able to take [...]
One time, when the boys were really little, and I was staying home with them, it was a really hard winter. Cabin fever and the winter doldrums had us by the throat and wasn’t letting go.
So I cranked up the heat to around 80 or even higher (it was an old drafty house, so I’m [...]
Didn’t get home until 7:00 p.m. last night. I had sent a few text messages back and forth with DS1 but still there was nothing made for dinner. And he had taken a container of spaghetti out of the freezer maybe 3 minutes before I walked in the door. So we didn’t eat until after [...]
But I think it’s working anyway. I love my new lightbox. L.O.V.E.
I have the floor light set to a timer and it turns on around 5:30 a.m. My alarm (radio) goes off at 5:45. At 6:00 (usually) I turn on my SAD lightbox that I have set up next to my bed and then either
sit [...]
1. My lightbox came over the weekend. Yesterday (monday) I sat in front of it for approx 40 minutes at approx. 40 inches distance. I had a timer for 30 minutes but DS1 was in the shower when the time was up so I stayed in front of it. Also, I was reading Laurie’s book [...]
I forget and start to think that EVERYTHING on this journey is hunky and dory (because of Mr. Hockey and the swoonish feeling I have about that whole thing) I want to record a couple of things here.
