Bleak Hole

[Rachel]

Chin deep in November depression, as usual. Late fall isn't good for me, the lack of light gets at me every time. Night shifts make it more difficult, going to sleep and waking up in the dark. Playing Mahjong on comp until 3 am, which is never good. Got not much appetite, not even for chocolate, which is worse.
Once it's January, it will be better as I know from experience. Because then, even when it's still winter, the days will start to get longer. It's like a promise. Sealed with snowdrops.

Something sad and unsettling happened at work on Wednesday night, believe me you don't want to know. Spent the following evening drinking with friends and after that bugging people on a message board until 5 am.
