My Christmas Break from school ends tonight...Wednesday is our first day back...I don't really get a break until Easter Vacation now. So begins the worst run of the year...there's no hope or ambition in me NOW, I can't imagine how I'm going feel mid-February. Maybe I'll be seeing my counselor again sometime soon. I've got Driving School coming up in a few weeks as well...which means I'll be at school from 7 AM to 5 PM every weekday for about a month. That's longer than the day is right now...the sun will be set upon entrance AND exit. My lightbox is going to really working itself.

January...why do we have to start off the new year on such a note?

i went back tuesday!!!

the joys of my flexible job mean that im working a 9 day week this week :? but its followed by 4 days off which is good. (im on rota to work this weekend and due to courses and other important arrangements i cant take my time off in lue until next thursday and friday :( )

i have to admit though, on tuesday i was still suffering from new years (i cant bleieve how hung over i was considering i had only a few drinks) and so was my colleage kait who i spent new year with- she drunk considerably more than i did and was still paying for it. And our colleage/senior Paul who spent new years eve on his back, in bed drinking, blatantly wasnt in the mood for work.

we attmepted a bit of physical exercise but after some half hearted litter picking we were in the beach cafe drinking coffee and hot chocolate. It seemed like mid afternoon by the time we got down to 'real work' but was infact only 11.30am but we'd given up the chainsawing and pine pulling by 1.30pm.

needless to say, we werent very productive and my sudden oncome of SAD the last few weeks really made the day a huge effort, but things were a little eaiser/productive today, and no-ones got anything too strenuous planned for a while.

but im finding that im falling alseep every night after i get home from work.

Well first day back, and I got through it. Felt a bit stressed at times and as if I was not quite there, if you know what I mean.
My boss was great, she has a family member with SAD too so was very understanding.
I am just getting really bad headaches, seem to come from my neck muscles and then makes my head all 'woozy'.
Getting eyes tested Monday as I think I need glasses too.
Hope everyones had an ok day.
