4.10 pm - getting dark already.
For some reason I'm finding the lack of daylight uber-trying this winter and the thought of the loooooong, dark winter evenings for the next three months (at least) is making me a tad panicky. I've had problems with SAD for many years now but the past few winters it has seemed better and easier to manage - last year I didn't even switch the Lightbox on once - this year it seems to be back with a vengeance. As a consequence, I'm feeling lethargic (not good when I've got a lot of ebay listing and Christmas present making to do,) irritable (just ask P, who must be sick of me shouting at him,) and downright miserable. For heaven's sake, the clocks only changed two weeks ago - what will I be like in two months time!!
So, time to get a grip. The Lightbox is being plugged in again. I will stop procrastinating and I will take the scissors to the carefully ironed pile of fabrics and make a start on present-making. I will get my act together and dig out EVERYTHING I've squirreled away for ebay Christmas listings - and list them this week. And I will take myself over to Billericay tomorrow morning for a change of scenery. Yes, I will - and, when I've done all these things, I'm hoping I'll feel a little more human again.
I found as soon as the clocks went back, I needed to use my lightbox, it made such a difference. Hope you feel better soon!

I hope the lightbox works for you. I've never seen one. How about a picture of it?
