I'm sorry you've been feeling blue, though, and having a slight case of SAD myself I can understand. It's also understandable after all the hard work you did the past several months, that your body just wants to rest.

So sorry you are struggling with SAD, truly horrid. I am lucky enough only to get the occasional brush, but even that is hard to deal with.
