SAD

Hey, it’s me.

As I mentioned I stayed up late Tuesday night and ended up vegging out last night as a result. I had no energy to do anything—even write. Sorry I left you hanging there; I think I promised to write again later but never did. It seems like every other day I have a good day. One day I’m energetic and productive and positive, the next I’m not (although I was productive at school yesterday. Maybe that’s part of why I was pooped last night). Who knows? I think at this point, despite the forecast of snow and the excitement of the possibility of a day off as a result, I’m ready for spring, feeling the results of my self-diagnosed SAD. I fight it, try to stay positive and exercise and all that, but sometimes it still wins. At least it’s almost the weekend.

Tomorrow night I’m heading to L’s after school to watch S play basketball. J’s mother and sister are going to be there as well, so we’ll be having some sort of dinner before the game at 8 (kind of late for 9 year olds, don’t you think?). I’m staying over night and will probably do a little scrap booking with her before friends arrive for a High School Musical 3 play date…I suppose I’ll stop on my way home to run errands and prepare myself for another Sunday storm. I haven’t had mimosas in a while. Maybe I’ll treat myself this weekend.

I do know you were serious about Santorini, and I would love to go—but having committed to April vacation in California, and having a week planned with D here in June/July, I think the most I can manage to round out my vacations for the year is a plane ticket to Seattle. And just as you were serious about going this summer, I am serious in offering that alternate plan for another summer, perhaps to celebrate our 50th birthdays if not sooner. We’ll have to talk…..

Hope all is well. Love the new chair, love that some things can still make us feel all grown up.

Love,
Barb
