Time to shape up a little
What's happening around me?
I've been away from my blog for about a month now. The main reason is that I've been totally exhausted for the last weeks, no energy at all. This happens to me this time every year near Christmas. It's so dark here in mid Sweden this time of the year and it drains me of some my energy. Some winters I've been wondering if I get a depression because of the lack of daylight? I have done some tests to find out if that is the case. Also been talking to friends who have depressions once or twice a year. In my case nothing indicates that I'm depressed. Life is like this this time of the year. Sadly but true I must say.
Today I saw the light in a way. I noticed today that it's lighter outside a little longer in the afternoon. Here in mid Sweden where I live the sun today had sunset at 15.08 (3.08 PM). At the last of January the sunset is at 16.01 (4.01 PM). This means that it's not totally dark outside when I finish my work at 16.30 (4.30 PM). This is wonderful, many things will be much easier. My kids also gains from this. More energy and many more reasons for them to play outdoors. And then leave me some space indoors for making diner and many other things that must be done in a household with three kids and no mum.
Today me and the kids went to a my mother and said Happy Birthday to her. It was cold where she lives, outdoor temperature was below -21 degrees Centigrade (-4 F). We have beautiful days outdoors when the sun is shining. I took a photo with my iPhone when the sun was on it's way down.
PS. The Gigant Christmas Goat was set to fire on December 23. DS.
