SAD

Here we are again.  I am subject to SAD, seasonal affective disorder.  When the days get short, and I go to work in the dark, and come home in the dark, I get sad.  I also am not all that enthusiastic about Christmas, Bah Humbug!  Well, I'm not that bad....  But I hate the way Christmas has become so commercialized.  Yeh, I know, doesn't everybody?  But we are the very ones that have caused it to become so.  Thanksgiving is over and now what I have to think about is what I will buy the grandbabies that will delight and enthrall them.  All they want in this world is more video games, better consoles, computers, etc.  They are sooooo techy, even Adtler, the 5 year old.  We are trying to keep things under control this year.  It's been 5 years since I have worked full time, so it's starting to catch up with us.  And, daughter and family just bought a house, and, unfortunately, have not sold their old one yet.  Such is life!  so money is a bit tight on both sides.  What to do......  I just keep getting older, dustier, and creakier.  Is that a word?  Well, I have been very creaky and cranky lately.  I think it's the SAD.
