I haven't been outside in 4 days and I'm getting buggy. I really want to play in the sleet but my bike won't appreciate it.

I am excitied for the days to be getting longer too! Yea. I look forward to that as much as anything else this time of year. When we have had nice days around here, I have tried to make an effort to go for walks for about an hour or so. I think I have been a happier camper also.

Still waiting for my lamp . . . these rainy, dark days are really wearing on me. Plus, I'm thinking that some of it is post-marathon let-down as well . . .

Can you get outside for 30 minutes or so?

sundial,
I have no desire to go outside when it is dark and rainy! :Yesterday, the sun was out for a portion of the day so I went out to my car during lunch as a way to get some sunlight through the car windows, but protect myself from the cold wind. Pretty much every day for the past two weeks has been either foggy or rainy . . . not much sunlight whatsoever. My lamp is supposed to arrive tomorrow!

Three more days...

That's it exactly. It's very easy to recommend that someone with SADD just go spend some time outside, but if the weather's crappy that ain't gonna do much good 'cause the crappy weather is a contributing factor. I can't tell you how many days off I've had when it's been grey, drizzly and/or cold, then the clouds break and the sun comes out on the day I go back to work. I could go out and ride or hike on those grey, drizzly days, but the weather conditions end up affecting my mood and leave me feeling as gloomy as the sky looks.

I assumed you lived in an area that didn't get much rain. Originally Posted by michelem
