-- quick outing to exchange sultanas for Thomson raisins. Packaging is identical and the counter was a bit jumbled yesterday when I was picking the bag off the shelf. In other news, two items that I'd forgotten to get rain cheques for were both on the shelves today -- crackers and yogurt back in stock at home now. <smile>
Worked on the lecture for tomorrow, polishing and practicing the phrasing and choosing which anecdotes to include as examples or discussion starters. It has a ways to go, but I have to learn to expect things to be a bit bumpy in places and not flawless. Makes it more real, perhaps. <smile>
When out today, the temperature was 10C (50F), which is not common for mid-January. That was the high point of the day. Temperature will drop be closer to freezing into the overnight and highs will be more usual for a few days -- floating around the freezing mark by a degree or two above or below. It was another misty day with the appearance of low cloud cover on the hills looking like fog but actually drizzle. The forecast has teased us with the chance of seeing the sun on an upcoming mainly cloudy day this week. We'll see. I know I'm in need of seeing the sun even if just for a short while. It has been so dark with the heavy rain clouds lately. This is the time of year and the weather that leads to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) for which some people use a light therapy. Yesterday was also the day termed "Blue Monday" -- not that this day is any more problematic but that it the time of year when people tend to feel less positive. It will improve as the days become longer. In the meantime, we need to ensure adequate self care and consult health professionals as needed.
A song title ran through my head while thinking through the weather and its affect on emotion. It is a bit on the sappy side, so forgive me. <smile>. Keep safe. Enjoy!
