One month to the solstice

I can make it!

I hope. If I were independently wealthy, I would spend November - February in the southern hemisphere. I find it hard to deal with the short days here, especially since it's usually overcast during the day at this time of year. My winter ennui has set in and it's hard to get off the couch, even metaphorically.

I don't celebrate Christmas or any other holiday at this time of the year. I'm an atheist and a curmudgeon and an introvert. I just want to get through until we're out of the belly of the year.

Come back, sun. My brain needs you.

Sympathies! I'm in the middle of nowhere, neither north or south, and while days are pretty much the same length as usual, I still don't get to see the sun much right now. It's overcast and raining every day, and while I like the cooler temperatures, it seems to shut down my brain too. Sleeeepy.

Yes, exactly. And I always get ticked off at how little control I have over my physiological response to this time of year. I should be able to wake myself up, dammit!
