i just read a marvelous poem ( etceterablah.com/ ) about autumn and how she orders trees to get naked and they do
and her demands for consuming large amounts of dark beer
and i was wondering,
do you feel autumn affecting your mood?
it's such a season, after all.

on the good side, there are meteor showers coming up around november 17
on the other side, there's all that thought of winter's speedy arrival and no matter what, winter means more bulky clothing and consumption of carbs and warm liquids.
are you getting your prescribed hours of sunlight?

i am, but have some vitamin D on hand to keep me away from S.A.D.

    Autumn usually treats me well. It is the winter after the holidays. I do take 50,000 IU of vitamin which my Dr. prescribes me for my bones. I think my shrink was about to do that but my Dr. beat her to the punch.

      tedster, are you taking vitamin A?
      If you believe in herbals, susun weed recommends infusions of stinging nettle. Great for bone health.

        I take a multi vitamin that has lots of A in it.

        I am already taking lots of nutritional pills, plus the anti-depressants, ritalin, trazodone, and four different pills for HIV. then there are drugs for cholesterol. I have already takens some stuff out because I get tired of taking lots of pills.

          yes, i see what you mean.
          well, here's hoping that winter will go down more smoothly this year.
          perhaps add in some good soul music - makes all the difference for me.

    i am trying to stay outside and walk/bike a lot to keep the s.a.d.-monster away ...
    the lack of sunlight is tweaking my mindset subtly .
    i occasionally go to the tan salon and get radiated (6-7 minutes at a time so I dont burn)
    this helps.
