It was a hassle getting out, I had to fight myself to do it but I’m so glad I did. I feel so much better. I wouldn’t say I made friends with Jack Frost but he definitely knows he can’t mess with my mind anymore. and I got my exercise in, clomping through over a foot of snow is hard work! No wonder the mail carriers in my area are in such great shape, have mercy! So few people shoveled their walks.

It’s been so hard for me to get actual daylight because I work 4 days a week for bigboxcorp, 10 hour shifts (some days I’m crazy enough to work overtime and do 12-15 hours), and it’s dark when I leave for work and dark when I come home, and I only get 30 minutes for lunch. Which is like, whatever, I’ll just walk during my lunch and eat on my breaks. BUT bigboxcorp is trifling, there is a 1/2 mile track that also goes around the bank next store. Bigboxcorp says that bank was there first, so they should salt the track. Long story short, no one salts it, no one shovels it, it’s an icy mess I don’t dare risk my neck to walk on. So now there is no place for me to walk outside at work aaaaaaaagh. On my off days I’ve been busy with my bookstore. I’d tell myself I’d go out ‘in a minute’ next thing I knew it was dark out; the day flew by. excuses!

Good news though! tomorrow at bigboxcorp I start 2 weeks of training for another project, I have to work 5 days but I’ll be off at 230. So I can get plenty of daylight no hassle. Then after the 2 weeks my schedule changes again so I won’t have to be at work until 9, which makes a huge difference because I’ll have an hour of daylight in the morning and can get my 30 minutes in before work. On my off days I’m going to start outdoor running ’cause I’m in training for the marathon in May. I’ll only run up and down the side road by my house that hardly gets any traffic. So between the daylight, the exercise, and fresh air my mood should stay lifted. Piss off Jack Frost!
