S.A.D. Weather

S.A.D. as in seasonal affective disorder. It is a type of depression that recurs due to seasonal changes, usually in the winter months. I don't actually have the clinical syndrome but this awful weather sure does get me down a bit.
I miss the country today. I feel a bit trapped in this tiny apartment. It would be a lot better, I think, if I could go places around here. All of the places I want to go are across town. On second thought, I don't have any place I really want to go.
Eric wants me to have a grocery list made so that we can go to the store as soon as he gets home. It is 3:36 and he gets home at about 4:10 so I guess I should make one soon. I don't see any reason I couldn't type it out right here:
Milk? I don't know how much we have left.
couscous for dinner sounds good
frozen veggies to saute and add to said couscous
wine? sounds good. I much prefer white but I feel obligated to drink red in this weather.
Water. Our tap water is gross.
Orange Juice. Vitamin C is good for you.
Some other type of beverage. Not soda. I am trying to quit soda. That reminds me: I should
make tea.
Bananas
Apples
Bag salad
Avocado (2)
Peppers. Any kind as long as they are super hot. Capsaicin supposedly cures depression.
Frozen Pizza. THAT is what I want for dinner! Yay!
Okay that seems like a perfectly complete list.
Oh wait: Bread
Ice
Coffee
Saline Solution
Now I am done.
I am being rather productive today! I finished the shopping list, washed all the dishes, made the bed, put away all the clothes, cleaned the litter boxes and got the trash ready to be taken out. I ALSO called my grandmother and wished her a happy birthday. Now all that is left is sweep, take the trash down, go to the store, put everything away and go on a bike ride. Oh and I forgot I am posting in my blog as well! Look at me go! Rar! I am Emma hear me roar!
I don't like that you cannot use "tab" on this post editor. At first it was fun to go wild and crazy with my indentions, but now my O.C.D. is kicking in I guess and this willy-nilly-ness is starting to irk me.
So back to the crappy weather. I woke up early enough (9am) to catch NBC's Good Morning America. At one point they flashed to the local station and showed the seven day forecast for Houston. Only two of the seven weather pictographs featured the sun. It gets worse. Even these two sun images were only visible as jigsaw slivers behind opaque, gray clouds. So now I wish I hadn't seen the weather report at all. I cannot un-know what I now know and this is making it extremely difficult to stay steady with my day-by-day mantra for this year. A week more of this dreary crap?
Uh-oh. I feel a sarcasm attack coming.
GOOD thing I got the bike fixed just in time for this LOVELY weather. It really is a PERFECT day for a bike ride.
But this weather will NOT stop me. I shall overcome. I WILL go for a bike ride. Maybe. eh. I don't know. Maybe I won't.
I think I just heard Jeanette's door slam. Maybe she is about to come over.
Well blog, thanks for listening. I would promise you a more exciting post for tomorrow but I really can't.
