Otherwise known as Seasonal Affective Disorder. Yeah, I thinking have it already.
And no, it isn’t just the “blahs” from coming back from vacation. It’s totally weather related.
I left, and we were starting Fall– cool mornings in the upper 30’s. Highs in the upper 50’s. Decent enough, but definitely on the downward side.
But then I came back 5 days later to this:
WTF?
There was actually snow here a day before I returned. And The temperature had fallen so precipitously while I was away that it set off the low pressure sensors in all four of my tires.
This is our grim 10 day forecast:
Ugh. We blew through autumn in one week and have skipped right to winter. And given that winter was still hanging on in Fucking MAY this year, this is too goddamn soon.
S.A.D.? More like A.S.S. (Another Sucky Season). Or W.H.A.T. (Winter’s Here Already? Terrific.)
We are not pleased.
Have you thought of seeking professional help for S.A.D. ? It exists, and can be quite useful.
…. or have you considered relocating? I know for a fact I’d go crazy in the snow. Southern California…Home of the 80 degree Christmas is calling. Of course the only fall colors are in the clothing section of Macy’s and active culture is only found in our yogurt.
Min. Ne. Ap. Olis. WTF did you expect?
SAD is a real condition, and there are treatments like light therapy. Or you could move south. Welcome to Delaware! We get all 4 seasons but rarely below 32 degrees.
You could live in Texas where we can wear shorts almost year round… but you have the crazy bible thumpers to deal with. Oh and the 100+ temps in summer.
Oh yeah, move to Texas. I’d like to see you marching endlessly in your uniform in our heat and humidity. Come on down!
26 degrees? I bet your nipples are sooooooo hard. 😉 Glad you make it home safe.
Holy crap I say this when it’s 39F here but will rise to about 60F. And I have not yet turned on the heating system in the house. It’s 60F in here but sweaters and robes do the trick. I won’t turn the heat on until November so I can deny those bastards at National Grid some revenue.
