Possible extra Repo! Ticket

Does anyone need an extra ticket for the midnight showing at the Coolidge Corner theater this Saturday?lifecollage  asked me to ask around- it's hers, you see. This isn't for sure yet, I'm just doing the checking while there's still time. If I get no takers, and she doesn't need it, it'll be sold back to the theater.

SAD- observations and stuff

So, from fall to fall, I vaguely note my decline in energy, my frustration with the unremitting dark- especially when it gets to the point of dark when I leave the house, dark when I come home. Like now.  This season after hearing other people's discussion of how Seasonal Affective is attached to that whole low motivation thing that goes with hibernation- and I really felt it. No help that the work here at the library had been beyond dull for me. That can happen in  June, so that's not the only excuse.

SO! the Salem Santas plotted and delivered an early Christmas present of a dawn simulator alarm clock, which I've been using for a whole 4 days now. I've also renewed my efforts and plan to go to the gym 3x a week. So, I've now been to the gym 2 of those 4 days. It may be a complete fluke or a placebo, I dunno, but my energy for the past two days has been nigh on manic- just ask my co-workers.  I sincerely hope that it's not a fluke, although dialed back a few degrees.

I will say, it's super-sweet to be able to set the alarm differently for every day of the week! That makes going to the gym in the mornings one step easier, too. Since SAD therapy proponents say that you ought soak up about 20 min. of extra-special light as early in the morning as possible, I set my sunrise for 30 minutes. It seemed the only way to be sure to be consistant about it.  It's very light, so if I was going away for a while, I could theoretically bring it with me. Rather compact. It came with cords that let you plug into non-US plugs, too. I assume one's UK and one's Continental Europe? LEDs mean that it's not as delicate as some other lights, and low-impact w/ juice-sucking.

I doubt I'll be going on and on and on about this after today, but I needed to at least mark the change. I may filter this into health/gym since it sort of fits there if I am wrong about the blathering.
