I have got way more light than you have (in Chicago) but I still have to rely on the little blue pills and am still counting the days until the solstice. I'm considering doubling down on the pills until March or so... Only a few more weeks, I know you can do it. Hope you hit the home stretch soon. Oh, hang in there.

I know each year you struggle with this and I wish there was something I could do to alleviate your pain. :o( From someone who fears the dark I can totally relate. I'd be beyond bonkers.

It's nothing as bad as Alaska, but one of the reasons I like the coming of January and February is that the daylight increases. We only get it in seconds, but you get it in minutes. Do seed and gardening catalogs help? Those are in the mail box come January. Here in Western New York we have such little daylight and on grey and overcast days it’s even less.

Yes, we had a (for us) big storm, with lots of trees knocked down by the wind, but the next morning, there was a sun reflecting off the snow. And remember, too, that you have Norse ancestors, which should help in the stamina (if not the dark broodiness) corner of yr psyche. As for me, I can hardly wait.
