Just wondering if anyone else goes into hibernation mode over the winter months, because I do and its something I always seem to have done.
From the beginning of October until the end of March my body seems to just run on tickover and even though I still do the main things like going to work and paying the bills, I don't do much else.
I'm a summer person by heart and the real me doesn't kick in every year until the beginning of April and its the summer months and the thought of them coming around each year that make me feel really alive.
Anyone else feel like this?

Hope you manage to find a way to perk up a bit this Winter...if not we always have DS :kitty:
Yes, I like the tucked up indoors feeling especially when there is bad weather and I like the feeling of coming home from work and just shutting myself inside. I have even got passed the stage of going to the organised fireworks displays now because its too cold and I just watch them from the comfort of my kitchen window. Must be a sign of getting old lol.
I agree with you about DS though and even though I am a relatively new member with few posts I do tend to read the forum every day and it does fill an hour or two.
I put brighter bulbs in the lounge table lamps during the winter too.I go out earlier in the day as well and get back home about 1/2 3 just as its gettong dark and fire up the heating! Plenty of hot chocolate too. Bugger the bill!
I find the cooler winter months to be very rejuvenating, I have alot of energy and just feel like I can get so much more done, just something about that cool coastal air
On the flip side when the day is done I seem to have an easier time winding down
I don't despise the warmer months, but you can sometimes feel like as it hots up everything is crawling to an unpleasantly sticky crawl, and if you have alot on it can really sap your energy quickly
I dread winter every year. I do still go to work, but I try to leave the house little as possible during winter. The early nights, bitter cold, cold winds, ice and snow drag me down. By the end of winter, I feel as though I've been beaten up and taken to my breaking point.
I swear, ever winter, I will move somewhere warm
I am actually looking forward to the cooler days drawing in and I can get out and about regularly again - amazing how much better it feels to be up and about no matter what the weather throws at you.
Same here.
You can have some lovely days in the winter, cold at times but nice in the sunshine.
Not so good if you work indoors and if you're leaving the house and getting back home in the dark.
So whats stopping you?:D
I loved the mild winter last year, made my job easier and it seemed to go much quicker. I'm hoping for another one
Postie eh!
I bet you have strong leg muscles.:D:blush:
Can't say I'm much of a fan of summer because it's my busiest time at work so no holidays for me until this time of year.
However I am a little prone to SAD so going out and getting some daylight is really important.
However I do also like the tucked up indorrs feeling when there is a cold wintry storm blasting away.
Ah well at least it has its benefits for you, although to be honest I don't mind autumn too much. I just don't like the cold weather.
Yes, I agree with what you say about fresh snow, and dare I say, I don't even mind walking in it sometimes, but only in small doses.:D
Sorry to hear you are prone to SAD, but I guess quite a few people are too.
