BOOM! I agree with you right down the line...including your observations about fall & winter clothes. They make me feel more insulated & somehow "safer" in regards to the outside world...What a strange concept. Never thought of that one in that way before. One thing you didn't mention is a light box. I don't know if it's just psychosomatic, or something, but some bright light in the morning beats the hell out of darkness (both outside & internally). I dread the days ahead, too, xRavenx.
