 Hello and welcome once again to Toni's Tuesday 4. It's cold in these United States.  Everyone seems to be chilly, and some have blizzard conditions to contend with.

But I think winter is a time for us, as well as animals, to hibernate and takes things slow and easy.  I think many find themselves a bit more sleepy than usual and maybe we are supposed to take the time to rest... Let's talk it over, okay?

1. Do you find yourself a bit more lazy or tired as the nights get longer or does it not seem to do much to you? Well, since my current schedule has me at work by 7 am, I leave at 5:45 am due to traffic...so really, I am tired by 3 whatever. Usually by 6 pm I am ready for bed and is partly due to the fact by 5:30 pm its dark. In general, how are you doing this winter? I am just ok...just tired... plum tired from being it gets dark by 5:30 here. Truth be told, it was so gray and damp here yesterday and rainy in the afternoon, the sun never really came out. Plus, I had to walk down to the library with 25 inmate students in the weather...and that just soured my mood. By afternoon and talking to my boss, he agreed for me to stay in Alpha/cellblock 1. I just had had enough...it has more to do with my coworker than anything, but the weather was definitely not helping.

2. Do you appreciate the extra hours of dark that allow for more sleep, more leisure, less travel and hurry or not? Well, no...see above. If it weren't for the fact of having to work, then maybe.

3. I know I love a hot drink on a chilly evening and the quiet of the streets outside as people stay inside more on cold nights.  I feel more relaxed in the winter.  How about you? Yes, I do.

4. Do you ever gaze out of your window like Miss Kitty in the picture just watching the world go by? Well, one wouldn't see much but a privacy fence from the front of the house and back. I long to have a traditional house with windows that look out to the street. How do you find yourself relaxing on a chilly evening? Watching tv, covered up with a blanket.

above is my last thought...thank you for the kind words yesterday. I gave my boss a list of Mandatory Literacy Program candidates (after extensive research over inmate test scores etc.) yesterday and hopefully by Monday I can start my classes.
