My Afflation

I am officially tired of winter. More than that, my SAD is kicking in hard , despite 8-12,000 IU of Vitamin D nightly. I started writing this post on Sunday, had the draft, found the links to the pretty recipes (need to remember to do that again for next week), and here it is Wednesday, and I am dragging ass. You can check out my Fitbit stats if you don't believe me. via GIPHY

I'm trying to get some energy and happiness, or at least less "meh" pumping through my veins. Walked Zoe to Starbucks this morning, shared a breakfast sandwich with her, and usually my puppy makes me happy ... But this morning everything annoy me. Even she can tell I'm in a mood. Instead of sleeping with me last night she slept on my daughters empty bed. Last night I had no energy to do much, but I had three weeks of just my own laundry to do, so three movies later, I had all of it done except the bedding. My co-workers will thank me. My hamper already does. By the way, don't watch " Joyful Noise " when moody. If you do, grab a box of tissue. Ryan Reynolds and Michael Fassbender were much better distractions. I think when I get home I'm going to start listing more things on freecycle. Time to declutter again along with the usual housecleaning. Any have any suggestions for good aroma therapy for winter blues? I really want to air...

Weekends lately have been especially hard. The quiet, the mind drifting ... I guess it doesn't help that I stopped taking my ADs. They were making me sleepy. Well, the Lexapro was. I need to call my doc and find one that treats *just* SAD or ask for the lowest dosage possible of Wellbutrin. I'll find some other way to deal with ADD. I hate feeling stupid. Though, the fuzzy-brain is somewhat normal for me these days. Not that I like it, but I am used to it. Funny how we don't want to give up the things we are used to, even if they are detrimental ...
