Had a private class after work. Working on escapes from side control. Then I won a stuffed Bob Ross from a claw machine at Food City. It was a good day. lol

Good Morning all!
Just at work in the office getting things ready for out two week Christmas shutdown. Well almost two weeks.
Plenty of payroll and records of employment to issue. Also Christmas bonus cheques and safety pamphlets.
Going to be a long day.
Anyways, have a great day, afternoon or evening depending on where you are in the world.

I'm at the office today. I work at a University and almost everyone is working from home due to Covid. I volunteered to man the office, but man it's weird to have the place all to myself for weeks at a time.

Gonna snow and hit -12 C come weekend. :)

Woke up early, did a lot of back and forth driving for errands, wrapped some gifts, coached new clients... I need to rest at least 2 days now. :D

Funny you ask. Right now, over there, it does not get light. Sun doesn't rise AT ALL.

Next week while I'll be over, the sun rises at 11:50 AM and sets 12:40 PM. So I get 50 mins of daylight! Welcome to Finland.... :D

Wow! How are the suicide rates there? Damn you guys must have some serious vitamin D deficiency.

We get vitamin D from alcoholic drinks, which we consume a lot.

But in all seriousness. I don't think people off themselves because of the dark or lack of vitamin D. It's because they don't talk to anybody about what's bugging them and are too afraid to seek help. Drowning the sorrows with booze is the easy solution, which leads to further depression.

I fought off my hate for the commercial holidays and got some useful things for the wifey. Just wrapped all of them. She needs them, so hopefully the gifts will be well received. Didn't even go over budget. That means I can get myself something too, right?

I went back to my GP for the fourth time in the last couple of years about my mood bouncing way up and down (I get cycles of between 1 to 2 weeks of up or down mood, hence why I tend to disappear on social media for about that long), after a blood test they noticed my vitamin D was down a fair bit, so they prescribed me a load of that. So yeah, I do think it probably has an impact, though I'm sure there is a lot more to it. ;)

FINALLY going to watch the Nightmare Before Xmas now, I've always missed it whenever it came on TV before. Hope everybody has an awesome xmas (especially my fellow Germans, Norwegians etc who have their big day on xmas eve :D )!

I had this corrected a few years ago. It really helped my mood. I highly recommend it.

Welcome back and I hope you enjoyed The Nightmare Before Christmas, one of my favorites!

Thanks! Now I just need to somehow actually pick up my prescription from the GP. ;)

Ate wood grouse and moose the whole day. Delicious af. At night we took a little stroll in the woods and tested our christmas presents with the wifey. Head lamps came in clutch. Now I'm gonna spend the rest of the night playing video games. :P

Xmas was weird: in England at the mo, the govt messaging has been completely fucked, with multiple u-turns in the run-up to xmas. It was going to be several days of relaxed restrictions, then at the last minute it suddenly changed completely. Meaning for the first time in my life, I didn't get to spend xmas with my family (admittedly in my case, I wouldn't have gone anyway because of the covid cases spiralling out of control in England coupled with the new more infectious strain).

But still, stuffed myself with food and chocolate yesterday, will most likely continue to do that today, along with some DnD. As always, going to need some major dieting, especially coupled with not training due to lockdown. ;)

A friend randomly challenged me to write a sonnet about teaching armbars, because I mentioned I'd gotten some useful transferable skills from running poetry seminars for undergrads during my English Lit postgrad. Ended up with this ;) : https://www.facebook.com/[...]1971077079

It's been a looooooong while since I've written any poetry, but fairly pleased with that for 20 minutes work. Though yeah, I did cheat a bit on at least one of the rhymes. :P
