Reply #6: I am in South Lake Tahoe right now...

[Hell Hath No Fury]

taking care of my Mom after knee replacement surgery.

I should state right off that I hate the winter, the cold and snow. Hate'em. I am a San Francisco 60s-all-the-time gal, born and raised. I am the shame of my Scandanavian ancestors.

We are in the midst of the worst snowstorm since '97. I'm looking out the window and seeing the snow line a foot above the bottom of the waist-high window frame. And it's supposed to keep going through Tuesday.

I find Tahoe in the fall/winter almost unbearable because the light is almost nonexistant. Living in a pine forrest leaves the houses dark, even in the high summer. In winter, with the day light shortened even worse by the high mountains ringing us, it becomes a black tomb. We have every house in the light on all day long and it's STILL too dark for me.

How am I feeling right now?

Like I couldn't get on a plane to Miami fast enough! :)

But I have to stay another two weeks until my sister relieves me of Mom duty...

Sob...

Thank the gods for Celexa.
