Class of December 2012 - Part 14
It's weird weather here -- warm and often hazy. Creepy vibes but it's probably just me. There was a big construction accident nearby & I think they investigated it in case it wasn't a non-accident. NYPD with bullet proof vests, Strategic Response Teams, and the Office of Counterterrorism were showing face on my street. 6 days of street closure on a main artery & police presence questioning pedestrians who were trying to get to their own apartments. Nothing on it in the news. I saw some young people dancing in the middle of the street just because they could -- it was a strange sight.
I dunno if it's a creepy vibe here but it's a little giddy...from next week the mall near me open 24 hours a day til Xmas - that will really bring the cray cray on.
Hope noone was hurt Courage.

That incident sounds scary. Whatever happens nowadays i'm sure people will firstly think terrorism. It's a scary world. We're so remote up here it's almost not real. I'm off to England this weekend to see family so into the fray of the real world!
Last winter and so far this winter I've just taken a vitamin d supplement a couple times a week, haven't had the winter blues at all. Have heard those sun lamps are crazy good though if its more of an heavy issue for people, mine is fairly mild as I'm an introvert that doesn't mind hibernating a bit.
Nice to see you, beautifulpines!!! Greetings from the class of December 2012!
I did get a light box just a couple of weeks ago -- for my husband, who is already almost nocturnal, so in the winter months often doesn't see the light of day for weeks on end -- and when he gets depressed, I feel it too. I've tried sitting in its light in the mornings when I have time before work, & I like it. The light is very white, and it feels clean, if you know what I mean.
I'm on my own again. Traveling in a week -- on Christmas day in fact -- to meet my husband who left town yesterday. Yesterday was 3 years since my first sober date. It feels like I've aged at least a decade since then. Growing up, finally, maybe. Remember when I couldn't stand to be alone? I invited crazy women from AA to sleep on my couch, and did other stupid things just so as not to be alone with myself. I still don't sleep or eat well when my husband's gone -- but I think, I hope, that this winter I won't drink.

It's good you find the light helpful courage. Yes, it is clean I find using it every morning helps me maintain some stability. How are you getting on alone?
had a stressful week.Some work issues which I won't go into but have caused me great stress this weekedn. Been away to see family and what should have been a lovely weekend was overshadowed by this issue. At least I know I have done nothing wrong but I just don't need the hassle you know? It is affecting my peace of mind poorly
I have a Cross Trainer!!!! It arrived the other day and I've just done half an hour on it then nearly collapsed! Helps me feel better though. Must do it every day.
Anwyay hope eveyrone is looking forward to the holiday season. what days do you get off in the US? I finish Weds till Tues 5th so it will be nice to spend some quality time with Jr ral and new mr ral.
