Typical Me

Last night I was woken out of a deep sleep by the phone ringing at 11:30 (I had been asleep 2 hours and yes I went to sleep at 9:30 on a Saturday night but have you seen the length and steepness of my driving and tried to keep it shovelled in the snow? Until then, you can't say anything about what time I go to bed at). I looked at the clock and decided that I had set my clock 6 hours back and it was actually my alarm ringing at 5:30 in the morning (yes, I get up at 5:30 am, did I mention the driveway and the time it takes to shovel it?) but also somehow I had rigged it so instead of my alarm clock ringing, it was my phone, because I can't hit snooze on that. But then it stopped ringing and I went back to sleep. The next day I saw that it was some number I didn't recognize. Since I got call display, I have realized a great percentage of my calls are from people I don't know and they come in when I am not home. Good thing I don't answer them.
The heat is broken in the room I work in. It is stuck on maximum. The room is a sweltering inferno. Lucky me, I get to keep wearing my summer clothes. It is hard to dress for the frozen temperature outside and the sweltering temperature indoors.
Tofu has also turned into my new favourite food. I mean, it isn't like I had never eaten it before but for the past two years I didn't want anything to do with it, I don't know why. Now, I can't get enough. I know I have some at home and I am hurrying through the stuff here so I can go home and devour it. I don't know if I'll even be able to make myself cook it first. I want to eat it so much. So tofu and flax seeds. Flax seeds themselves or oil. I have a bottle of flax oil in my fridge and it is taking all my willpower to not swig it like a pop. I limit myself to a tablespoon in the morning and a tablespoon on my lunch vegetables.
Must balance hormones.
In other happy news, I have finally admitted to myself and others that I experience SAD in the winter months and have taken steps to rectify this. Who knew that one didn't have to be depressed and miserable all winter?
