Seasonal Affective Disorder

I'll tell you who has it. People who live in the Jordan Creek area. People who shop at the big C. Daylight savings must really affect peoples' moods because people were having a difficult time responding to a simple "Hi, how are you?". Apparently people did what I did the night before; they stayed up extra late because they got an extra hour of sleep, cancelling out the extra hour. And not only did it cancel out the extra hour--if they were like me and stayed up later than an hour-- it made them more tired because they got less sleep than they usually get.

I will say, I am kinda sad that we will be seeing less sunlight now that we changed the clocks back an hour. I can feel the serotonin draining out of my system. Not really, but I'm sure that would be a weird feeling. I should buy one of those "happy" lights. The ones that are supposed to help you feel happy (hints the name) during the winter months. To me it just looks like a bright light. I have my doubts that it actually works.

What I am looking forward to the least are the little annoying things winter brings--dry hands, static, colds and the feeling of your nose hairs freezing in your nose. I need to find a new CD that I can listen to to lift my spirits in these hard, hard months. Maybe I'll buy the Colbie Caillat CD I haven't gotten yet. Or maybe a CD that has some acoustic guitar with some piano. Ahh that sounds nice.

Anyone want to go on a tropical vacation with me? Maybe move to Hawaii? Anyone?
