I am feeling like the weather today—grey and dreary. Does anyone else get affected by the weather like this? I remember when I first started at Northwestern and there were signs everywhere telling us to watch out for S.A.D.; Seasonal Affective Disorder. Apparently the grey Chicago weather can cause seasonal depression. I didn’t fall prey to it then, and I don’t really think I’m responding to the weather now, but it makes you think.
I know Eric did not have this problem. How do I know this? Because Eric transcended climate. That’s right. Those are his words. Only Eric would wear footie pajamas in the middle of the summer in New Jersey—and possibly Thailand. Did he have footie pajamas then?
When we commented that he would be too hot, he uttered his famous phrase about transcending climate. He was an individual and a little thing like the weather wasn’t going to cramp his style.
So I’m going to try and transcend my grey mood today, even though I think it is caused more by fatigue and emotional stress than the actual weather. I’m going to put on a happy face and transcend it all.
