I believe that I have been an unwilling participant in an experiment to catalog the undesirable affects of Sun deprivation on human beings.
This experiment has been going on since late March and it looks as if it will continue for at least the next few weeks.
To date, the most commonly noted side affects to this experiment have been
· Paleness of the skin
· Frizzy and unruly hair
· A constant need for stimulating drinks
· The desire to nod off at the most inopportune times..like during a conversation.
· The strong desire to jump back into my bed as I make it up each morning.
· A slight, but annoying pain in my lower back.
· Yawning as soon as I sit down
· A “creak” in my neck when I turn it from side to side.
· Forgetfulness…Especially if it requires movement
· A nagging cough
· Craving sweet treats
· The need to shield my eyes from light bulbs over 60 watts
· Depression, knowing that as each sunless day slides by, winter is one day closer.
· Reduction in the quality of sleep
· Irritability , especially when I think that it is already June 15
· Inability to complete tasks that have more than 2 steps
· Decreased creativity, my vocabulary is suffering the most.
· Loss of interest….in anything that involves getting off of the couch after 6PM
I am considering a complete and total boycott of this experiment.
I am thinking about a week in the Bahamas. I know it isn’t the best time for travel in that part of the world, what with hurricane season and all. But I am willing to take my chances.
