We're not making nuclear warheads in here, honest
So, EPI went out yesterday and came back with a SAD light. Fired it up and instantly the place was filled with the light of a million suns ... made me want to strip down and lie right in the middle of the kitchen floor for a spot of tanning. However I wondered what the neighbours would think – not about the nudity, but about the light. Through the window I'm sure our place looks like the inside of a nuclear reactor.
Be that as it may, we have high hopes for our new EnergyLight™. No later than by the end of this week I expect to be as perky as the model on the box, replete with perfect hair and straight rows of pearly whites. I turned it on this morning as I sat working at the kitchen table and … well … SADly I feel no discernable difference. In fact I've been schlepping my ass through the Gegend [one for you, my dear German readers] for the better part of the day, all haggard complexion and bleary eyes. Clinging to the hope that the effects won’t show up until later. Sort of like taking LÝSI.
Anyway, I did manage to complete the first phase of Operation Sara Bernhard cookies this evening AND make a batch of homemade müsli, so perhaps I’m underestimating the Power of the Light. Or not – I’m completely wasted right now and feeling like I’ve run a ten-hour marathon. My bed beckons. Ta!
JUST A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE WEATHER BEFORE I GO
It’s extremely dramatic right now – a real-live tempest, with sheets of heavy-duty rain just pummeling the windowpane. All hell has broken loose according to mbl.is – they’ve got rescue squads out all over the capital area. Roofing has blown off, cars have blown over, scaffolding and flagpoles have broken loose, in one place a barbecue went through a window and a camper was pulverized. Welcome to Niceland! Temps 4°C [39F], sunrise was at 11.06 and sunset at 3.34 pm.
