I am back in Muskegon for Thanksgiving and while I love being home and with family, I feel so very off right now. I think there are two main factors contributing to this. The first, is the time change. I always forget how difficult it is to come back to an Eastern time zone for only a few days. It always takes me multiple days/nights before I adjust to the time change decent enough.
The first night I was home I stayed up until 4 a.m...the second night was 2 or 3 and right now it is 3:30 a.m. and I'm wide awake. So I have been awake during the nights, and then I sleep throughout the day.
Now, the reason I end up sleeping throughout the day, instead of simply staying awake so that I will be tired enough to sleep at night, is because I'm stuck inside all day long. At least today I was...
This, I believe, is the second reason I have been feeling off.
It's 30 degrees and windy (not so inviting), and with my knee not allowing me to move as freely as I desire, I'm simply stationary in doors.
The combination of a really messed up sleeping cycle and being not only inactive, but inactive and indoors all day long has affected my mood pretty majorly.
I am home, it is Thanksgiving, and yet I have been a downer all day. How disappointing that my attitude has been so poor.
I need fresh air. I need activity. I need to get myself out of the dumps and change my attitude.
