Lights and Vitamins

I did some research on Light Therapy for Depression and it is a highly recommended treatment.  I decided to set up lights in my bedroom and living room.  I sat at least an hour a day in the light cleaning, organizing, studying and just laying there doing nothing with bare minimum clothing on.  I definitely felt the difference in energy during the day.  I also felt a lift in my mood.  This is a fluorescent light, which according to my research is = to about 300-500 LUX (standard unit of light flow) while the sun provides about 20000! Nonetheless, I am feeling the effects.  Coincidentally it’s been sunnier than normal the last 4 to 5 days since I stopped sitting in the lights and going outside and I feel about the same.  Today it is foggy and I can't stand the cold so back to the lights.  

Pills Pills pills….I started on the ADEKS and made it through 4 days without forgetting and then I dropped the ball.  I have such a brain blocker when it comes to pills.  Why can’t they put it in a tea like Chinese medicine?  I never forget to drink tea!!!  Needless to say, I’ve not been consistent with the ADEKs.  I haven’t taken one Vitamin D super dose!  I know, I’m only hurting myself, but every time I take a pill my brain starts questioning, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS ANYWAY??  It’s some gelatinus pill they call vitamin D.  The ADEKs are not any better.  They are horse pills that are hardened powder it seems that pulverize into dust in my mouth when I chew them.  YES, I understand I do not have the enzymes that help me absorb these vitamins, but maybe JUST MAYBE there is a more pure answer.  Vitamin D is assimilated when we expose our selves to the sun.  MAYBE just MAYBE I NEED TO BE CLOSER TO THE SUN??  Ya think?  If I was getting proper vitamin D, then the rest of me would function better, right?  I’ve spent A LOT of time in sunny, hot, salty air climates and I have been in the greatest of health in those situations.  Hmmmm…

In the evening time I continue to salt steam my bedroom and the results are thinner plegm and a plethora of it!  This is great to get all that gunk out, but it is taxing on my body, my sleep, my man’s sleep and my career.  I was coughing up close to 1.5 cups of phlegm a day which if I told the Dr., she’d probably recommend antibiotics.  I’m down to maybe a half cup now, which means there is less in there I hope!  I haven’t been in the salty steam in 4 days now and the mucus production is stable yet annoying.  I cough throughout the day every time I change environment from inside to outside, from one room to the next, from the car to the house and it’s productive every time. 

Ok, I’m off to the gym.  xoxo
