Paychem LOL!! I was thinking vampire LOL

But seriously, I'm not sure its exactly a fear I have but I much prefer the winter and when hear people talking about SAD, I just don't get it. To me when the summer is on its way I feel stripped of any skin. The dull winter days act as a security blanket for me. I think I maybe crazy!

I love gray days and I'm also a night person. Sunshine and rainbows, not so much.

The problem with winter is the cold and snow. That's the part that cripples me. But I hear ya on the lack of light thing, that's not my concern.
