Hello ED, it is called SAD. I am rallying today. Walked in the brief sunshine, despite the wind, for my morning coffee. Nearly all of my coffee mates were gathering at the same time so we all stopped outside to chat. That lifted my spirits. Well apart from one lady who was tearful as her husband had passed away on Monday. We had a quiet chat on the side lines as I am the only other widow in the group and I told her that I understand what she is going through. That is real sadness not my silly low feeling from yesterday. I didn't say that to her. Now I am back to getting into things around the house. I think that the key is to catch as much sunlight as possible, walk and socialise and keep busy. I have also been thinking about my yearly teacher registration. $90. This year they want to update my details for a police check etc. Fair enough, however I need access to a printer to copy the forms and take to a police station. As much as I loved teaching and miss my time with students my reality is that I no longer have the energy to do it even as a casual teacher. I haven't approached the local schools letting them know that I am available even though I know that they are desperate for casual teachers. So now I will let my registration lapse. Decision made. Enjoy your day.
