::friendly nudge:: You're not alone.

Have you considered light therapy? It sounds like you have a touch of SAD, and being as far north as you are, that could have an impact.

I could recommend a few big fics (or epic stories if you're in a pro!fic mood), but I dunno how much angst you want to experience in your escapism...

*hug* You know you're not alone, right?

But my rational brain who tallies things up loses out at times to my emotional side which doesn't care.

*hugs* I definitely understand that.

At least my little doggie pulled through last night. Second time in the last two weeks I thought she wasn't going to make it through the night.

Oh, that's good to hear as well. Are you still taking her to the vet, or is it more touch and go at this point? :-/

I don't care what anyone says, being on vigil for a pet is just as hard as for a family member. Hell, they are family members, even if they can't interact with us on the same level.

*moar BIG HUGS*

Let me know if you want those recs...

Edward Rutherford ~ he writes epic novels of the saga kind; I've read almost all of his books and absolutely savored every single one of them. My favorites are Russka and The Forest.

I need serious exercise. And a good bill o' health from the docs. I think I'll eat instead.


ETA: Oh, and I promise a good hawt Sess/Papa chapter full of utter filth at Claiming Kin soon. ^_^ Spring might be nicer.

I just swigged some coffee with vanilla and whipped cream :) GMTA.

I'm down too, I do understand. I just did a fitness test on the Wii. It's pathetic.

The next chapter is 90% done. It's very doggy. Tai is very angry that Sess took Kin to see his mother in the concubine quarters. But anger always turns to smex with those inu.

I know what you mean - though I guess it'll be a while before spring gets there - or here.

Our high today of 24 probably seem balmy compared to whatever it was that you had there. I guess winter is just really getting started (and someone forgot to mention that Global Warming thing to Mother Nature).

*clinks chocolate-laced mups of coffee*

I'm with ya in the good ship o' grump. The bunnies are downright surly and the Christmas baking is all gone. The spawn both have a weird virus that involves intermittent hives and sore throats, and the dog has become downright crafty in storing her medicated drops in her jowls and then spitting them all over the carpet.

However, I can recommend Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series of books for young adults. He utilizes the full range of incidents, characters and critters from Greek mythology for a rousing coming-of-age tale starring a modern teenage son of Poseidon. The battle is to save Olympus from a resurrected Kronos and his ebil minions, and Riordan's characterizations of the other demi-gods such as Annabeth (the brainy daughter of Athena, despite her mother's continuing status as a 'virgin goddess' - no plot holes here, because his explanation is extremely inventive) are well done. A nifty tidbit the author incorporates in his ethos is that all the demi-gods have either ADD or ADHD, which makes them unsuitable for the normal education system. It's total brain candy, and a sure-fire cure for the January Blahs.

Sounds like a case of the winter blues, hope you pull out of it soon. But you know me, I never take my own advice like I should and pull out of my own blues!

I say eat more chocolate, get under the lamp and I hope you read that rec from Feni - sounds good! ::HUGS::

Since Winter isn't even a month old, don't hold out for Spring. However I vote heavily for chocolate and anti-depressants. They work for me. And Coke.

I've also heard of those special light bulby things that simulate sunlight. Try that.
