Aww the arrival of fall .. how wonderful these last couple
of days have been. I didn’t have to turn
on the a/c on Friday or today .. just had the windows open all day. My regular readers know that I hate summer ..
actually, if summer had an average high of 72, I’d love it. So let’s just say that I hate heat. I really have mood fluctuations depending
upon the time of the year, but it’s not the normal SAD that everyone is familiar
with. SAD – Seasonal Affective Disorder
is normally referred to as the winter-time blues. It’s said that the body needs a certain
amount of sunlight in order to function properly. But there is a lesser known side of SAD –
those who become depressed during the summer months. Yes, me.
In fact, I’ve read some recent literature indicating a relationship
between bipolar and SAD, which is interesting to me since I am bipolar. In the summer, my windows are closed up
tight, blinds closed, heavy curtains drawn.
My rooms are dark, or as dark as I can get them. But in the cooler months, I love to have the
windows, blinds and curtains wide open.

So what about you?
Are you a Spring/Summer person or a Fall/Winter?

You need to move to the UK. We celebrate in style if temperatures reach 72. :)
I'm definitely a Fall/Winter sort of person. I love, love, love snow. Really, I haven't yet grown out of the excitement of seeing the first snow of the year. I love to hear people moaning about how they can't get anywhere... ;)
I'm a Fall/Winter person. I close the blinds in the summer to keep the temps cooler inside the house. I do like Spring, but my allergies don't. I like Spring, too. It's summer with it's high humidity and heat that I can do without.
Oh Shirley!! I love snow .. well, as long as I don't have to drive in it. Of course, we don't get just snow, but rather snow on top of sleet or sleet on top of snow.
And yes Brandy, I hate the allergies too.
I don't know, I've gotten worse about it the older I've become. Maybe it's part of menopause .. but I do hate it so! When I become wealthy, I shall have a summer home in the arctic somewhere .. or the UK ...
