winter blues

It's been tough getting back into the swing of things. The days are VERY short now--it's kinda sorta light from 9:15-3:30. I haven't seen the sun since I got back--there's thick cloud cover, which is apparently typical winter weather. So it's never really light, which does weird things to your body. I'm tired all day and have insomnia at night. And I've had the worst jetlag of my life--since the best remedy, after all, is to sit in the sun, and there isn't any.

I'm coping by eating well, going to lots of concerts, and taking it easy. My gym finished a huge expansion project while I was away, and they've just installed a great tanning salon and sauna, which should also help. At least it's not super cold. Sub-zero temps and 17-hour nights would be too much to take!
