I absolutely could not live in Washington or Oregon. I’ve considered it before, because they are beautiful places with the added benefit of cool people. Still. Today has been dark and rainy, with 50 degree temperatures. I’ve never heard of it happening before, but I believe it may be possible to get Seasonal Affective Disorder in only one day.
At the library tutoring, I told my student, “Sorry, I’m so tired I can hardly speak.” He asked hopefully if I might prefer to go home and get some rest. I know this exhaustion has to do with the weather. I don’t see how folks up North deal with it. Give me a desert any day.
I thought that once.
I lived in Los Angeles for a long time.
Now I live in Seattle, Wa.
It’s not as bad as people seem to think it is.
Oh I live in Los Angeles and I’ve actually been having S.A.D. For a few days I just didn’t feel like doing anything and had really low energy… until one night, I decided:
AHA! I am going to make shadow puppets!
It got me so excited and my energy suddenly came back. Funny how that works.
come on down to san diego, i moved here from ny in feb and it’s nice hear year round. the weather definitely has an impact on people’s moods and such.
