I don't feel as blah, bored, listless, restless, etc.

ah, maybe those GE natural light bulbs that are advertised on TV all the time will help? I think I will open all the blinds during the day. I have tons of french doors so that will let some light in. Thing is I spend much more time outside in the winter. It's just too hot here in the summer. In the winter I like to take my laptop out to the pool patio and work there. Bad thing there is that I still have not gotten my pool screen replaced since Charley.
Thanks everyone for the ideas, I guess this depression is more common than I thought. That makes me feel better. So I'm gonna excersise more, who am I fooling? LOL. I am GOING TO START excersisiing. Get some natural light bulbs. Open the drapes and french doors, get some fresh air circulating in the house.
