Lazy Days...

I find myself yawning all day. I have no energy and I have been very tired the last couple of weeks. I have to drag myself out of bed in the morning after hitting the snooze button several times. After an extremely long hot shower, I can somewhat function long enough to make it to work on time and manage to get through the day with out falling asleep.. Is it possible that sitting at a desk and staring at a computer all day could be part of my lack of enthusiasm and energy? Or not getting enough sun could be another huge factor of lacking the energy needed to get through day. Does anyone else have this issue?
Seriously I am not a person who self diagnosis herself with all kinds of illness or made up diseases.. But I have heard of this thing called Seasonal Affective Disorder! It is a person who suffers through the season. It makes a person depressed, tired an want to eat.. Hey that describes all my symptoms! So I looked it up online and it says: Insufficient exposure to sunlight has been associated with low levels of melatonin and serotonin, carbohydrate craving, weight gain, and sleep disturbance.
So I thought… Maybe I have this…It certainly describers my symptoms! If I understand this correctly; it is kinda like how a rainy gloomy day makes us tired but a sunny bright day has us all happy and geared up.
It has been a very long cold winter and it isn’t close to being over and very little sun for these last few months. So I have been taking vitamin B to help boost my energy level on top of drinking lots of hot water and orange juice. What happens, I wake up with a huge canker sore in the back of my mouth. I guess I have had too much orange juice…that citrus acid thing…go figure. I try to feel better and only get worse. What is wrong with this picture??
So I look forward to brighter days with sun filled afternoons! I promise not to complain that it is too hot or humid out! lol
So to all of those who suffer this SAD problem, join me in celebrating the news that winter is only 6 more short weeks. We can hang in there as I look forward to seeing the green grass and sprouting flowers in my yard.
So I believe this would be a good time to curl up with my book until I drift off to sleep… Goodnight…
