Earlier today I declared my need for a nap and to step away from the PC for 24 hours. I am just feeling downright cranky. Probably my mind/body shifting into SAD mode. Usually hits a peak right about now, with the days getting to their shortest, little sun, no greenery.

I am cranky and I am not liking it or myself!

Anyone else feeling it? Time for a communal howl? Time to beat the drums? Build a bonfire, paint our bodies and chant for the sun to return? Erect some large stones in a circle in a field? Eat some extra chocolate? Take a pill? Take a vacation?

Arrrggghhhh! I want to wear shorts and tank tops and feel the sun on my back and the sweat on my brow!

Time to go to the movies. By myself. :) Then hop a jet to a Caribbean island for a week. :) :)

Escapism anyone?

I know the feeling. I have in-laws still invading my home. They have been here for almost two weeks.

They think since I am sitting on my computer, I am not working and I can watch their kids or run them places.

Escapism is terrific Webwork - really.

5 years ago I sold everything I owned, got on a plane and I now live in the jungle next to the beach.

Does wonders for the morale. No bills, no TV, no worries. Surf, listen to the monkeys and birds, but don't give up WW.

You're a great mod, and everyone here appreciates your time and effort on WW.

Take it easy,

I quit smoking about a week ago... I don't think "cranky" quite captures my current state.

On the bright side, though, if I have truly quit smoking, I think I'll try heroin next - I'm told it's easier to kick the horse than the nicotine. ;)

C'mere, dragon!

cranky.. yup.

currently in my appartment, sharing my "office" with two other 20 yr old students. We're all one week away from the end of the semester, Myself a graphic design student, the others a nursing student, and an engineer.

The place is a mess, we're all cranky as hell and I think I've been neglecting the nursing student a little too much :P

Trying to pump out the end-of-semester work is one thing, but having a client's $1300 cheque bounce, right after paying tuition AND rent.

yeah. I'm cranky.

<added>
I think I'm finally getting over the SAD, as the light is now reflecting off the snow :)

> I quit smoking about a week ago...

I gave up caffeine about 10 days ago. Yesterday was my first full day without a splitting headache.

I can't say I was cranky ... I just felt _deflated_. Now I'm feeling way better, I have more energy and I'm sleeping better. And I'm never getting addicted to any substance EVER again.

Hawkgirl: I have a similar problem with a well known soft drink, I down several large bottles aday if im to survive without a giant ball rolling around inside head.

If I stop then im in for 3 days of pure hell the odd thing is if I do stop I cant go near the stuff for months as the smell makes me almost gag. The human body is a weird thing.

Or at least what passes for one with me.

I'm not sure I get SAD as badly as I used to, but I decided to leave the bad London weather behind anyway and fly out to Cyprus for ten days.

It's very chilled out here right now: sunny, warm, not too many people but still a lot going on and a friendly atmosphere.

There will be ten days of solid Christmas partying after I get back to London and then it's extra sweaters and a wooly scarf before I fly out to Moscow for Christmas.
