How great is it to see
sunlight and blue skies this morning?
Finally, driving to work and it’s not pitch-black dark outside. It’s a fantastic feeling.
Oh, wait. Shit, no, it’s not. You see, now that it’s light out early in the
morning, the road construction crew is already blocking my access to work. Crap.
I wish it were still dark out so I could have the open road to myself.
Okay, so this afternoon,
when I get out of work, I have to run to the grocery store to get some stuff
that I need and to make an oriental-inspired slaw for the staff lunch we’re
having tomorrow. I’m only in the store
for about forty minutes. When I arrive
in the parking lot, the sun is slanted in the sky but still shining.
When I exit the store, the
sun is well into its setting phase.
Shit. Damnit. By the time I finish unpacking the bags at
home, they sky darkens to the point where I’ll need the patio lights on to see
the recycle bins for the rinsed-out cans from making dinner. It’s dark by 5:30. It has been a beautiful day … and I basically
missed it.
I forgot what season it
truly is: Seasonal Affective Disorder
Season! Bring on the light therapy; I
think I’m going to need it.
