I know its only August ~ but after two miserable days of pouring rain and being cooped up in the house (i did run last night - but still), I had a glimmer of the winter depression that I get. I end up eating and drinking my way through the darkness and feeling a serious sadness. Yes, I still mountain bike at night in 20 degree weather but it still sucks and puts me in a bad mood for 5 months.
This is not me but you get the idea... |
So this is what we have come up with so far ~
- Have a trip to warm weather planned ~ probably going to Jupiter FL to visit my in-laws ~ this will be cheap and easy ~ just how I like it
- Get snow shoes ~ just incase we have a snowy winter ~ so I can still get outside
- Take vegan cooking classes in NYC a few times
- Go to NYC to visit friends
- Have something to look forward to
I would ideally love to be in a position to spend 6 months of the year somewhere else ~ like Colorado, Arizona, California or Costa Rica, Italy ~ hey a girl can dream right!!
HELP!
I love winter...by the end of it I am ready for it to be over for sure. But we are so busy in the spring, summer, and fall that I just love the idea of nesting in the winter. But husband and I will be going to England at Christmas. Not exactly warmer but a break from the mundane. My husband actually gets a lot of hiking in the winter. I go some but I let him go during work and I'll be the slave. (we own our own business)
ReplyDeleteWe're already starting to plan our winter work outs too. Wish we could travel but I already know that's not going to happen this winter.
ReplyDeleteI get the winter blues too. It is no joke! I think your plans sound great!
ReplyDeleteI really like that you're thinking about this already. Good idea to get a plan in place now so you are armed come winter.
ReplyDeleteAlso - you won the Gotein give away on my blog. email me back with your address and I'll get it in the mail. Thanks V!
