not so bad, considering

Things that make me happy: a necessarily incomplete list.

• Clean sheets
  
• Sunlight
  
• Touch
  
• Eating
  
• Talking with loved ones
  
• Good books, or movies or shows or ...
  
• Yoga
  
• Playing a fun song, reasonably well
  
• Feeling competent
  
• Autumn leaves
  
• You

It's been an alright day.

I'm totally good with putting clean sheets and sunshine at the top of the list. Yay for you!

I'm honestly kinda distressed by how much my mood improves or worsens based on whether it's sunnybright or grey & rainy. Vancouver may not be the healthiest place for me.

You can always augment with full-spectrum lights. I have one right by my bed, so it's the first light on in the morning.

I've got a blue-light over my work monitor that I think has helped. I mean, it's hard to say definitively. Adding a fullspectrum light to my regimen is probably a good idea.

Best thing I ever did for winter mornings was get an alarm clock that wakes me up with a gradually-brightening light.

I keep thinking about a light-alarm. I'm not sure I would notice until it was blinding because I sleep on my face.

I replaced all the lights in my office with full-spectrum, though, too. Now I don't get headaches and I don't end the day depressed and angry (without reason).

Oh! That sounds genuinely /lovely/. (razznfrazzn openplan office)

I woke up earlier than I needed to actually get up this morning, so after a brief trip to the washroom, I returned to bed for some dozing/reading time. I was kind of surprised at at how good it felt to be snuggling into my soft and already-warm bed.

O yes. When one has the time and the mental coherency to appreciate it, it's /lovely/.
