Oops!

Soooo, last night I had a headache while trying to fall asleep, so I got up to get drugs. I accidentally took Excedrin Extra Strength (which has caffeine) instead of the Advil PM I had intended to get. Oops! It then took me two hours to fall asleep. Luckily, with my new Christmas toy, the Roku, I had the entire Netflix watch instantly library at my disposal and watched "Chaos Theory." It was funny and sad and cute all at the same time. I wouldn't watch it again though. I was just desperate. Now, I'll be more careful about which drugs I take at which time of day. Imagine if I accidentally took Advil PM in the morning! I would crash and wake up to a destroyed house!
In other news, I've suffered from severe Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), also known as winter depression or winter blues since I was a preteen. I always just struggle through it, getting more and more miserable every year. The years I would get a winter tanning pass would really help, but I'm now a million miles from a tanning salon. After reading some recent news stories about the disorder, I decided to try to find a light therapy device to help me with this crippling winter disorder. Unfortunately, most places have devices in the hundreds of dollars price range, which is way out of mine. Then, at Target, I found one for $45! Using a leftover Christmas Target gift card along with 2 $10 e-gift cards I'd purchased through DealPulp when I was able to get each for $2, I was able to get the light for basically free! I just ordered it today and it should be here next week. Most people say it takes a couple of weeks of using it regularly to notice a difference, so I'll post again with results, but I'm hoping and praying this works for me!

  1. Yikes about the drugs! Seems like when you're feeling the worst is when stuff like that tends to happen.

    That's awesome about your light. I look forward to hearing how it works.
