> You are funny!!! Sometimes it does seem normal. Right now normal for me is depression :-( ... and of course insomnia. Yuck, I may love snow, but I can't wait for summer. I always go through depression in the winter!

I too get "bluer" in the winter and invariably gain 10 lbs. "Hibernation weight" I suppose. :-) Most years I lose all of it when summer finally comes, but sometimes . . . not.
Sorry you're on the down cycle. Hope you find your balance again soon. Will send warm fuzzy calm thoughts your way. Like a life sized psychic teddy bear, how's that image work for you?
Oh, BTW, I love the snow snow snow, but hate avoiding the idiots driving 70 mph in it. Stupid thoughtless people annoy me. Some days for me really are like the "you know you're manic when" post, and some days I can hardly get out of bed. I love my life, but some days I hate it. I love my job, but some days want to run away screaming. I love my boyfriend, but some days I think he's a ridiculously obstinate moody testosterone machine and WHO NEEDS HIM??? (But not today. He didn't trip over any of my buttons today. Notice I said trip over, not push -- they are my buttons and I take responsibility for them being triggered. I just wish I could disarm them.)
Some days I think I'm a ridiculously fraudulent phony pretending to know what I'm doing in life, other days I know it's a miracle I've come as far as I have. What I can't decide is, which one is real? Or are both? Or are they just moods? What's the secret of life? Is there a secret? Is there life? or are we all just living in a train station locker waiting for Tommy Lee Jones to open the door?
And I *still* really want PIZZA!
(if a craving doesn't go away for a week, is it really a craving? or "pizza deficiency"???)
<grin>
Hope you find something soon to help your sleep situation. I'm not sure which comes first for me, not sleeping or feeling depressed, but the two are definitely linked. Like some others, the physical exhaustion "work out till you drop" works well for me as long as I do it in the morning. If I wait until evening, I'm too wired to sleep before 3 am and that will never do since I work daylight hours. :-) How did you sleep after your playing in the snow? Better I hope.
Oh, it's too late again, and too many miles to go before I sleep. Kitties to snuggle, dishes to do. Goodnight!
