Do y'all ever get a feeling of utter disconnection when something VERY BIG is about to change in your life, or is it just me? Yes. We moved to London in October. In the Summer, I was so so so excited about the prospect. In the final month before when it actually started happening, I was completely disconnected from it. The wheels were in motion, I was very busy, then I was here. That first month of adjustment was weird. Not necessarily hard (except for the jetlag), but I was still not fully present. I had to make myself go out and then I was in looooooooooove with what we did with taking up this temporary opportunity to live over here.
Also, I need some mad scientist to explain why I suffered so much more from S.A.D. and gloominess in Seattle winters, compared to what I expected from famously-rainy London where there are technically fewer hours of daylight. Seattle Winters are so much harder for me. In November, I kept asking Londoners if all this Autumn sunshine we were experiencing was unusual. They just stared at me quizzically like they didn't notice the sun.
