The shorter days and gray skies can be depressing but then I just make a date with my granddaughter and there is my sunshine. And then we always have the knowledge that we will be returning to TV in a few weeks and will be back to the warmer weather, bluer skies and fun.

Yes, you are right. I need to focus on the glass being half full. This is so unlike me....but I'm thinking the darkness is having a profound effect on my mood. Secondly, I ALWAYS clean the house before I leave for any length of time but we are still working out the bugs about the move. This year, hubby stayed behind for 3-4 weeks (with out the wife housekeeper, cook, laundress, etc.). So, you set me straight - don't focus on whats left to be done, but rather on what I HAVE already accomplished!. I'm embarrassed to say (wouldn't want the kids to hear this) but I am REALLY looking forward to my return to TV on the 29th.
