Quote from my calendar for yesterday:

"There is one thing which gives radiance to everything. It is the idea of something around the corner." -G. K. Chesterton

Also. It's March! It's sunny! I'm mostly over my cold! And I'm going to be in CA in 4 days!

Huh. danodea, welcome!

How did you find me? We appear to have no friends in common...

*confused* (and no, I don't normally announce who has added me, but I can usually find _some_ links to other people I have friended. :)

Adendum to coping mechanisms for SAD post

Something I didn't mention, mostly because it had escaped my notice until earlier today. Just because you're out of the worst of it (in my case, since about the third week in Feb) does _not_ mean you can stop paying attention to signals relating to the season.

My random itchiness lately? Most likely due to not having had any non-effortful in-person interactions since March 20th. 10 days ago. I think it was me needing to find uppers of whatever sort that was causing the itchy brain. So if I've been more down than might seem reasonable, that's probably why.

Not to say that the things that have been bothering me are automatically invalid - that's not true. It's just why they've been on my mind so much, and more difficult to ignore if they are not something I can do anything about. I also suspect my inability to be social for more than 2 hours at the party last Saturday relates to this lack. Silly, me!

Not sure if I'll be able to address that problem before traveling this weekend. Which ought to be interesting, 'cause it'll mean my default state will be stupidly needy. Ah well. At least I'm aware again! And not stuck in "but it's _nice_ out and sunny and I should be done with this already" mode.
