Rainy Day While the storm in my head has yet to arrive, we're getting a fair amount of steady rain here in the outside world. Autumn has arrived with uncustomary abruptness: instant nip to the air, overcast, water from the sky.
Since drought conditions prevail in DC, the rain is welcome. And I love Fall, so I'm happy to put on a sweater. But the darker days and the gray mornings have left me vulnerable to the "Maybe I'll just roll over and get another half-hour" or "I think I'll just have a nap" syndrome.
No amount of caffeine, or stretching, or yawning seems to shake off the desire to crawl into the cave and sleep the day away.
For what it's worth, I've also got the season-change food symptom: the desire to eat massive amounts of carbohydrates in advance of the coming winter. For the first time in my LIFE I ate an entire pint of Ben & Jerry's in one evening (Coffee Heath Bar Crunch) the other day. I told myself it was because I had a sore throat. Unh-hunh, that's it. Sure.
If I'm not careful, the abuse of these two practices (sleeping and eating) could just ruin my girlish figure. I worked hard for my size 8, a process I'd prefer not to have to revisit.
On the other hand, the office sofa is looking awfully enticing...
