SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

Wow @Adge, that is a long wait to see a Dr - be quicker to go to emergency. It's good ti stick to the same dr if you can. My S3 has Bronchitis after the flu now too. A lot of people have similar atm. I hope I don't get it. Feel for you too.

Too lazy to cook after a big day, so I sat down to Jatz biscuits and before I knew it I'd mindlessly eaten nearly the whole packet oopsy! Worried about too much salt, I drank 3 cups of water and, oh my goodness, I think the water rehydrated the biscuits swelled - rumy burst! lol Laying here stretching out like a beached whale, silly me lol.

With the bird cages, I wired two together to make it bigger. Want to freshen it up with paint - can you recommend a 'safe' paint to use? Or special one. I'll try post a photo.

You take care :💜🌷🌿

Thanks @Former-Member

Good work with those bird cages!

I've hardly ever wired things together, or been inovative like that.

Sorry I don't know much about paints, so I can't really suggest one.

This tree mess has kept me busy this last few days. x4 full trailer trips to the the dump & a friend's large ute full of heavy stuff for his fire. Was suppose to rake today but too sore (arthritis). And pulled my shoulder, resting it in a sling. Feeling old. Put electric blanket on my bed yesterday, really helps the back & knees.

Just popping in, saying something

Being outside in the garden more sure seems to be doing the mood good. Not too many dark thoughts 🙂

Hope you're all OKtonight. ❤❤❤

Hey @Former-Member - good to see that this tree mishap has had a bright side to it. That sure is a big clean up you've had to deal with. It is good to have a project albeit one that unexpectantly happened to work at. You can see the progress you make and it gives you a sense of accomplishment.

Take care of your poor sore body. Some heat will do it good. Do you have a wheat pack to put on your achy bits?

My dog is suffering from SAD. Doesn't want to go out walking in the morning. I go by myself then give her a walk around the middle of the day and again in the late afternoon. Right now, she's on the sofa next to me wrapped up like a burrito in a rug.

Yark!!!!!! @Former-Member

What a terrible mess - I am glad someone can use the wood for firewood - that is a good thing

And working outside is a good thing for the mood - I love walking outside - ah winter yeah - SAD - I might be planning a walk right now but we have icy wind and rain storms - and thunder - here and so I felt lucky to get up to the hairdresser and get a few things from the shops without getting drowned in heavy rain

In Melbourne we get squalls up from the South Pole - there is nothing between us and the heads of Port Phillip Bay to fend of the storms off the Southern Ocean - When I was going to Canberra last winter people kept telling me it was cold there - but hey - I live in Melbourne! The cold was different there the first couple of days but then I got beautiful days after chilly mornings

Anyway - I am planning to fly to the east coast - Eden - in the next few weeks - I still have to go to flight centre and work it out - but it's better to fly than travel by train and bus for a whole day

I hope I get good weather then

You're okay Lapses

Agree @Owlunar - the cold is so much easier to deal with if the sun's out. I go walking early in the morning and once I get moving, it's okay. Was six degrees this morning which is quite cool for where I live but it felt much warmer in the sun. I went to a function up the road tonight and even though it was 16 degrees as I was walking along the foootoath, I was freezing.

Hope you have a great trip.

Hi @soul

I am not walking as much through winter - I have chronic spinal pain and I need to keep the temperature as stable as possible - but winter cannot last forever

Just a moment - I will work out how many days left this winter - pathetic - yes - I know.

36 days - ah - that's a lot better than the last time I counted - I can hear the birds singing if I wake up early in the mornings - I tend to go to bed late - today I slept in too late - no desire to get out of my warm bed with my furry friend - my companion cat

But you are right - it is better when the sun is shining - sitting here at my computer in the morning with the sun shining in here is always wonderful -
