Winter Depression

by Trula on December 2, 2005 · No Comments

Ok, so the great winter season of 2005-2006 has ‘officially’ begun for me. I have no set date for when winter begins, but rarely does it coincide with the calendar date. It’s just a feeling I have inside. I went out for my morning walk today. I had to force myself to do it, but [...]

I could not get the boys to go outside today. Since swim lessons and baseball are over, their pattern now is to get up, eat breakfast, play video games for a bit, then go outside and play.

Winter Cometh In The Night

by Trula on November 17, 2002 · No Comments

I am preparing for Winter. Perhaps this season it won’t be so bad. Last winter was fairly mild. However, cold is still cold. When people talk about mild winters in this part of Ohio it’s just a game of semantics, really. You know, as if snow feels any less cold if it’s 20 degrees outside [...]
