My SAD has really kicked in this month. So I’m trying my best to fight it with as much outdoor activity as possible on these Arctic, short days. Also, my reading/watching habits are gravitating toward more active stuff — workout videos, running videos, etc., for – hopefully – some inspiration.
What are you guys doing to battle the winter blues?

PS: I wrote this last week in the midst of gray and bitterly cold days. Lo and behold, on Sunday it was warm enough that I could go out and replace the oil in one car and replace the battery in the other. I love doing stuff like that after a cold/dark spell.
I just get used to it…

Also, I’ll throw some cash at the kitty, but I’m not sure about this “Canadian” money.
Last I saw C$1 was US 75 cents, so you get a lot of bang for your buck. Sometimes. Gasoline, which is doled out by the liter (litre) runs about $6.50 (US) or more per gallon. And Canada is an oil-producing country. It’s the onerous taxes. Yeah, I get it, we should all bicycle everywhere and by not driving we’re saving the whales or something, but honestly, when it’s below freezing, even the snuggest Roots clothing won’t keep you warm when you’re cruising around the St. Lawrence River or skating on the Rideau Canal. I don’t know how the Canadians do it. And I grew up when we had real winters, like we’re (briefly) experiencing now, and I don’t know how I did it.
Oh no. Needs more maple syrup and Molson beer. And poutine. So much poutine.
I tend to play a particular video game during the winter because I have zero time to devote to it during the growing months.
Warm By the Fire
Actually, no fire, just blankets and four little dog heaters.
