Random Thoughts

• I haven't been very good at coming up with anything to write during this NaBloPoMo so I'm glad that I have lots of photos to post.  I actually do come up with ideas - in the morning or early afternoon.  By the evening, when I have time to write, I usually don't remember what they are - or I don't care.
• Every summer, I think that I should be able to do something to prevent my seasonal depression.  By mid-November, I realize, again, that I can reduce it, but I can't get rid of it.  
• Since it's in the mid 30's, and I don't seem to be able to stay warm inside, I listened to the Puffin Cam highlights for a while to make it feel like I'm outside.  
• This would be a nice room to have in the winter:  hot tub to stay warm, huge windows for sunlight, and plants.
• I end up feeling trapped inside without space to move in the winter (except for Zumba and Broadway Dance).  I've started doing much more walking while I fold laundry - fold a shirt, walk to the bedroom and put it away, fold another shirt, walk to the bedroom, etc. - rather than fold them all and then put them away.  It helps a bit.  
• I've got a good winter coat, but it's heavy and drags on my shoulders.  I had tension headaches every day for two weeks (three days now without one!) so I don't really want to start wearing it.  I'm trying to find a lightweight winter jacket to help me get outside more.
• I've injured my knee twice this year - minor injuries, but they keep me from really being able to throw myself into things (including Zumba & Broadway Dance).  
• I finally saw Guardians of the Galaxy and loved it!
