February - Month 5

So, there are no pictures to remind me of what we did in February. So I guess I will talk about SAD - Seasonal Affective Disorder.

I am not sure I ever believed that such a thing exists. Well, let me tell you I am a true believer now. The winter months in Holland are not fun. Sun is up from about 8:30 to 4:30 and as a working woman, that means I didn't get to see much of it. In addition to the dark, it was rainy and windy most days. With James travelling most days, I would come home from work (usually after a drive of about 1-1.5 hours because of traffic), maybe run 30-40 depending on weather, eat dinner and be in bed by 8. That was my first symptom........

Speaking of traffic, let me just tell you I will never complain about drivers/traffic in Lexington again. This place is crazy. First, Holland is densely populated in certain areas. Second, there are 4 cities where work is concentrated. Third, these cities are all within about 60 miles of each other....Let's just say the roads are busy. In order to beat traffic, we would have to leave home by 7. To beat traffic in the evening, you either left right at 5 or wait until after 6 to head home. For some reason, the time in the car doesn't bother me as much as I thought. It's annoying, but I use it as wake up time or decompression time.....

Sorry for no pictures this month...
