Not really SAD, but
A lot of people are affected with Seasonal Affective Disorder in Wisconsin. We have many, many days without sun during the winter months. This year, we've had a string of days with heavy fog and unseasonably warm temperatures in the 30's and 40's. Personally, I can't claim that I've ever really felt the effects of SAD, but this year, knowing that we are likely moving west later next year, I've been very impatient and annoyed with Wisconsin weather.

Allie is working full time as Justin's caregiver and pitches in on our firewood harvesting project on the hill. Her marketing job search has pretty much dried up; the only offer that she's received turned out to be taking temperatures for $18/hour, but she turned that down for a number of reasons. It was supposed to be for a marketing position. They asked what she would be willing to do. She said anything. When they said take temperatures, she said, well, almost anything but not that.
