Weather Moods…

So it’s officially spring, and yet still being here in Nebraska, it’s been cloudy and rainy. Don’t get me wrong, its a vast improvement. At least I can go outside and take out the trash without having to worry about slipping on ice and break my hip. Definitely don’t miss that train of thought at all.

But i am one of those people in which the weather can influence mood and mental health. So you can imagine that winter can be a hard obstacle for me to overcome. I almost didn’t make it through this one, but that was mostly my fault for thinking that i could go without my medication (i know that sounds stupid, but believe me that is a story for another day).

Now that the temperatures are warmer, i have taken advantage of the sweet breezes and opened my stiff windows to air out our apartment and finally get some decent cleaning done. And despite the gloom, i have enjoyed the sounds of the rain hitting the roof lulling me to sleep at night. But when those sweet drops turn into pellets and the sound deepens and added rumbles roll in from the distance, i can say goodnight to sleep.

I really do hope it gets warmer soon and that we can get more sunny days. I just want to be productive again and actually get up at a decent hour. Until then, i have my tealight and scented candles and my string lights to keep me going. Here’s hoping!
