How does anyone get anything done when there is that little sunlight? All I wanted to do was sleep 24/7. I knew I was questing for the equator for a reason. It certainly wasn't for the heat. R.

I recently bought a light box and it does seem to help some.<br /><br />It was strange being in Northern Canada, in the bush, through winter. I was south of the Arctic circle but the nights were super long and the days like four hours long. Snow to your waist and cold as hell itself. Kinda rough on a fellow from Alabama. That was a very educational year.<br /><br />In the nineteenth century, a lot of doctors referred to depression as the writer's disease. It may be why I write southern Gothic monster stories that take place in dark places like abandoned coal mines.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15998129924003072969noreply@blogger.com
