I don't know where we're going, but I know where I am (part 8)

Mam of 4 · 13-11-2019 03:44PM

Sitting with a coffee looking out at the snow falling .. actually , turning back to sleet now . Have to head out soon for a few hours in it , boots and coat at the ready

HeidiHeidi · 13-11-2019 04:01PM

Was outdoors for the morning - wasn't half as cold as I'd expected (I'd brought about three extra layers just in case), but my goodness I seem to have dodged a (very, very wet) bullet by getting home by 2pm :eek:

Thinking of just taking to the bed for the afternoon (I had a very early start is my excuse!)

Pretzill · 13-11-2019 04:52PM

It's miserably cold up here. Dark and gloomy too. Had to go to the Doctors with Mr P earlier and was glad to get home. Why is it I always feel so tired this side of the year. I could cuddle up and watch movies for the afternoon but I'm stuck at the desk, working.

Gremlinertia · 13-11-2019 05:18PM

Already feel like I'm working. Stupid correspondence stuff.

Mam of 4 · 13-11-2019 05:44PM

And it's still snowing here . Am in the car , across from a Church which is looking like a Christmas Card scene , with the snow on the roof and the glow from the streetlight in front of it ..

Sephiroth_dude · 13-11-2019 05:44PM

Bus side , heres a live feed of me

13-11-2019 05:48PM

Was meant to be heading out for dinner and it's just been cancelled, I've never been so happy, the thought of getting ready in this cold was really putting me off,couchside now on a horrible evening here,not going to budge until bedtime.

Can you see if my marbles are there.

I'm working tonight, this is new. Yikes.

I think it's something like seasonal affective disorder that makes people tired in winter. Lack of daylight. Just makes me slightly low. I do have a keen appreciation of the seasons and natural changes but being honest Winter doesn't have as much to commend it in Ireland.. this weather's just dreich. Look at it. Like a smelly soggy grey blanket sagging down on top of the rooves and trees. Discovered a cure! Drop a brick on your foot. Was wedding a window shut from outside. Im only half joking as apart from the distraction from negative thought/ bad mood, I've had a flood of endorphins that left me warm all over. Might make it part of the self care routine lol. Inside with tea listening to the washing machine spinning and feeling much more Zen ( love white nouse)

HeidiHeidi · 13-11-2019 07:37PM

OMG, I'm watching back the Only Connect I recorded on Monday night - it's not even the end of round 1 and I've got 2 - TWO!!!! - answers that the teams didn't!!!

Was absolutely frozen earlier, am now almost passing out with the heat from the stove that I may have slightly overfilled.......

Oh my goodness, this with bells on!! (first part, not the dropping bricks on yer foot bit - ouch!)

As the years go on, I'm finding it increasingly hard to deal with winter, the short days and the endless dreary dark nights. I used to love winter and bad weather, even kind of look forward to it - I still don't mind if it's spectacularly bad - today's rain, for example, was kind of entertaining (only because I wasn't out in it!) - but the four or five months ahead of us of grey, cold, dark days, more night than day - has started getting me down already, and it hasn't even started properly yet!

If anyone has any coping stragegies, I'm all ears!!!

The little rays of sunshine in here will undoubtedly help
