Seasonal affective disorder. We’ve been through a crappy winter, on top of the normal short days.

I went into a funk a couple weeks ago but have rallied back by staying busy.
 

Sposta get snow tonight. Yippee! 

I discovered something when I was in my mid-twenties that was an instant cure..... but I refuse to ever go down that road again.

This applies to everybody, regardless of age. I HATE winter.

I read something online that I thought was pretty funny. Goes something along the lines of this:

"Everybody denies seasonal depression exists until you feel the sun on the first warm day of February and you feel like you've been actively injected with ecstasy"

Now, I have never done ecstasy, but I can relate to that sentiment completely. Good sunshine is nature's medicine.

In a nutshell. I have COPD which to a degree I live with ok. However in the last two weeks I have been suffering from an out of this world painful backache the cause I assume was from getting contorted stack two Rick of firewood. Before this occurance I noticed failing eyesight in my right eye. Yesterday I go to the Missouri Eye Institute with the idea a cataract is the problem (to a degree it is) but after evaluation it's determined I have more pressing problem that needs addressed first. Macular Degeneration. Which is treated by sticking a needle in your eyeball. Now to today I head to Bolivar about my back problem and after Xrays there is a possibility an old healed cracked vertebrae my be causing inflammation. Next step is a call from them to do an MRI and hopefully not interfere with the call to stick a needle in my eye. Currently I don't have diarrhea or an ingrown toenail

    Me to but took a break during the nice weather. Bees are going nuts in and out of the hives since the rain stopped and the sun came out. Tomorrow I will be at the vice.

   Ness I am glad you are out of your funk.

           Well CRAP sorry to hear about this.

February is probably my least favorite month of the year. Football ends, it’s still cold and crappy. But…the buds are swelling, the bulbs are coming up, and you start to get some nice days, usually. Garden planning and seed starting are in progress so there are things to look forward to.

But Feb 2025 just flat stunk!

March is in like a lion,  so…

I think I’ll appreciate spring more than normal this year.

This is why I avoid going to any doctors for anything.    I've had muscle, cartilage, and nerve tears in both knees and one shoulder,  a partially detached retina, a severely damaged tendon in a foot, and numerous other more minor injuries which allegedly were going to require surgery to correct......but I neglected to schedule operations for any of them, and miraculously all of those injuries healed themselves eventually.    It took awhile, and there was undeniably some wicked pain and sleepless nights suffering because of it, but once I recovered there was no issues.  

The retina ordeal was by far the scariest (billboards looked like bowties for awhile, and round things looked like Easter eggs) but after living with it for about 4-5 months it healed itself.   👍

I worked 5:30 pm to 2:30 Am for about 5 years.   It was horrible.   Hang in there.
