Spring is in the Air

And so is pollen, at least that is what my allergies are starting to tell me. I suppose it may be time for me to get "Claritin clear". I am grateful for the warmer weather and sunshine, though. Winter months are always hard on me and I feel like my depression has been extra bad this past season. I've been contemplating seeking treatment for this for some time, but have been hesitant to because, quite frankly, I don't have the money nor do I want to spend money seeing a doctor and then more money on a potentially expensive prescription. So, I've decided to try St.John's Wort, a natural supplement that supports mood health. I'd also like to dedicate time each day for meditation and at some point in the near future, would like to check out some self-help books to help me cope with stress and depression when it gets really bad. The books will be in lieu of therapy because, again, I don't really have the extra money to devote to that.

We are also trying to prepare for Scott's layoff. It could be tomorrow or it could be another month, maybe longer. Either way, it is inevitable, but I don't think he'll be out of work as long as he was last year.

I wish that I had more things of substance to say, more exciting updates to share, but sadly, we are boring people. Partially due to financial constraints and partially because we are homebodies. Thank heaven for the Salt Lake County Library, my Google Nexus 7 tablet, and Netflix!
