Daylight Lamps, SAD and Auto-Darkening Lenses

I have been sitting under my Daylight lamp more or less faithfully for the past 3 weeks. During this time I have been stressing, wondering why it hasn’t been working. It isn’t pleasant continually wondering if this is *the* slide into another bout of depression. (I know, that alone has caused a minor bout!)

Today I pulled off my glasses to check to see if they were en-0slimed with industrial strength lens clouding Rottie slobber . . . (I know this is a terrible cleche, but) & the light came on. Auto-darkening lenses – bright lamp – light blocking lenses . . . no happy lamp, buzz. Sigh, and I used to be such a bright little thing . . .

It is wonderful to be free of that pressure now. I know from experience my energy level will rise with more light exposure. I like buzz and bounce much better than:

Get up
Survive
Go to bedMuch better! Much better! Much better!

a very handy little utility

It is a spell checker that works with Internet Explorer. I love being able to check spelling quickly when commenting on a blog or uploading an article. Any text box you are scribbling in for web based entry can be efficiently cleaned up . . . being the worlds worst speller I love this little utility.

ie Spell is not spyware or adware. It’s free for personal use only. It has had good recommendations from PC Magazine, Tech TV, Shell Extension City, PC World and others.

(May the grammar avengers never find me!)
