It must be the darkness, right?

I'm falling asleep around 8PM these days, can't even keep my eyes open to keep reading in bed, something I love to do.

And trying to get out of bed between 3:30AM and 4AM is sheer torture.

I really have been slogging this week and last.

Presumably partly because I've been eating way too much sugar, even for me, and my body just feels "blah," and partly, I think, because it's pitch dark out now, with sunrise not until after 7:30AM, well after I'm settled at my cubicle desk at the office. Trust me, it's hard to find the motivation to leave the house at 6AM, when your instincts are to go back to bed!

Even my rowing has been hard, in spite of Monday's intense, but laborious session. Last evening I was as slow and easy as when I first started doing it back in mid-September. I got into a really awesome rhythm, mind you, but I wasn't exactly burning many calories.

Anyone else having difficulty getting up and going these days? Have a body that wants to sleep for a few weeks, at least? I'd hate to feel alone in this. LOL.

A few pics from the other day, snapped while heading back to the office after an errand. I love our campus in fall.

Surprising to see flowers still in bloom.

Almost Friday....
