Seasonal Blues

[butterflydreaming]

Self diagnosis: lack of motivation to follow through on a growing to-do list, lack of real excitement about exciting things I put in front of myself, weird eating, wanting to go to sleep shortly after sunset, and general sadness are just a season. This is a familiar state because it's one that happens, one that will probably keep happening on a regular basis for the rest of my life. I keep wanting to not post this maudlin junk, but then I won't post anything at all.

I saw a great movie today, with a free pass I got just for swiping my movie club card every time I went to the AMC in Pacific Place. So I saw The King's Speech for free. Because my historical knowledge is weak, it had an extra zing of excitement for me. You can laugh at how I wasn't sure who would end up being king, or how.

Dinner was a "happy accident" fish chowder, with leeks, cod, and sole. I set out to make the fish simply poached, but I picked too small a pot for so much fish. A mix of lemon juice, lime juice, mirin and marjoram made it delicious. I would do this again on purpose.

I got some bills paid (and finally switched over to paperless)(no, I don't know why "finally") and that's pretty much the last of my steam.

This is purely anecdotal -- but FWIW -- I'm prone to relatively mild SAD. This year I up'd my Vitamin D. It seems to have made a big difference.
