[scheduling]

[wispfox]

My schedule between now and February is ridiculous. Especially on weekends.

It's _possible_ to get time with me between now and February (even if you have not already asked), but unless there are good reasons that you can't wait until then (for example, if you are not normally local to me) it's highly unlikely that it'll happen. (To those who I've already emailed my schedule between now and then, you're exceptions to that thought. Well, unless you all decide you want to see me in the same week!)

Sheesh. I don't know how I always forget that December is insanely social, but I regularly do. At least the SAM-e is helping with half of my problem with the season! (the seratonin part. The melatonin part is still an issue, and dramatically affects my energy levels. As evidenced by the fact that I faded after only two hours at a party tonight. Of course, I _got_ there already over-socialized...)

SAM-e - usually when I get up in the morning, before brushing my teeth or eating. (NOTE: they say to take it on an empty stomach, and they mean it - when I have not, my stomach wasn't happy. It stayed down, but...)

Flea - don't know; not planning to go (don't want more excuses to spend money on things I don't actually need).

this site (http://www.nla-newengland.org/fff.html) says December 17-19, 2004.

Thanks for the info! I may check out the SAM-e, although I've found that 1mg of melatonin at night does wonders (only really good if i'm sleeping 8 hours, though), as do a couple glasses of milk. Between the two I might not have to try tanning beds this year.

*nod* Melatonin _is_ the other subsystem that SAD fucks with, so that makes sense.

I use it when I'm simply unable to sleep, but I find that if I have to use it, I'm awake again in 4 hours. Which is annoying.

But, sleep does make things much less difficult, so I do it every so often anyway!

Interesting - it knocks me out for eight. Good thing I never tried Ambien, huh? I'd never ever wake up. . .

I'll probably save the SAM-e for next year, then, unless this one gets really bad. Still, with LA in the very near future, I don't see that happening. :-)

Mmm. Actually, things which are supposed to help with sleeping apparently affect me in unusual ways. So you might have been fine with Ambien. :)
