Too blue

Lately I have found myself dreaming about being back in the US, having a place called home...  This second winter has been harder on me. During the first winter I was complaining about the darkness and cold but somebody told me, "wait until you experience the second winter, when your vitamin D levels are depleted", and I think she was right, it has been so hard on me!!  Especially February, I was feeling blue, some days so blue that I would call it depressed. I had no energy to do anything. I'm not Danish, I have no motivation to go jogging or take Lucas for walks when is snowy, dark, cold and windy outside. At the beginning of the winter, I really enjoyed the coziness of being inside, warm with a hot cup of tea, cooking or watching a movie while it was snowing outside. But  as winter progressed, the coziness feeling started to wash away and replaced by complaining "when is the snow going to melt","this f*** snow is ruining my shoes", " when is going to be lighter", "I'm getting fat from all this cooking and being inside", "I want to move back to Houston where winter are warmer and the day doesn't end at 4pm".  So now, I don't dream about trips to exotic destinations, I dream about trips back home…

So is the glamour of the expat life wearing off*, or is it just the winter blues???
