In My Next Life

I’ve decided that, in my next life, I’m coming back as a spoiled house cat (preferably orange and an indoor one). And here’s why: They’re professional nappers!

Why am I so flipping tired all the time?! Is this what adulthood is really like?! I know it’s February, and with the shorter days and lack of sunlight, everyone’s batteries are running a little low. But my goodness, all I want to do is sleep!

And I’m good at it, too! On a typical winter Saturday, I can sleep all night, wake up around 8 am, have a cup of tea, tidy around the house and fall asleep again on the couch by 11 am. Maybe nap again around 3 pm. And finally, be back in bed by 8 pm for another night’s sleep. Honestly, who sleeps that much other than a cat?! Is this hibernating?!

I was diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) a few years ago (on top of regular old Depression), but man, it’s never been this bad before. Not familiar with SAD? Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) | CAMH

I’ve tried different things to help, but nothing seems to work. The “Sun” Lamp, the extra vitamin D, getting outside or in the sun as much as possible. Help! I’m open to suggestions!!

I just want to be a cat; they have it so easy, right? Is there an application process for that? Like, can I apply to be a cat in my next life? Sign me up!
