Another mundane Monday morning … after a crazy weekend.
I struggle to wake up due to my lack of sleep and desire to tackle another work week. It was dark when I woke up so my body is confused. It is telling me to crawl under my sheets until the sun comes up but ’til now it is dusk and gloomy outside. The weather has an extreme effect on my mood. I might have a mild case of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder):
Definition: The primary feature of seasonal affective disorder is a pattern of depressive or manic episodes that occurs with the onset of the winter months. As the days become shorter, and the weather colder, there is an increase in vegetative depressive symptoms. Individuals eat more, crave carbohydrates, sleep more, experience chronic fatigue and gain weight. In pronounced cases, significant social withdrawal occurs as well. Some have described the pattern as a hibernation during the winter months. – PsychologyInfo.com
Though I am not feeling 100%, I am quite excited at the fact that it is going to be a short week filled with working retail for a day, zzz meetings, and Christmas lunches. Then it is move-in day! It seemed like a long time coming but the day is finally here. I’m just counting down the days … 4 …

Weekend was consumed by a wedding and a Christmas party. It was my first wedding for photography, I was kind of nervous plus I was hungry. At the reception, I was filled with a 10 course meal, so that subsided. Now I have a bunch of edits to do .. work work work. The Christmas party was more relaxed since I didn’t have to be Ms. Photog and Ms. Driver. So I was buzzzed and happy!
Sunday was more relaxed and we had All-You-Can-Eat-Sushi at Ten-Ichi!! If you don’t already know, I love sushi. Not the California roll stuff but the real raw fish. My personal faves are anything with salmon, white tuna, soft-shell crab, avocado, tempura shrimp, and bbq eel. It is making me hungry even thinking about it. Oooh how can I forget the spicy stuff, like spicy salmon. I pretty much like it in any form, sashimi, maki, handrollls, etc. But my indulgence got me killed – I was so stuffed that I had to undo the button and had a long nap after. The typical ‘itis.
Anyways, that is my first day-in-life entry, until the next day …
