Frühlingsmüdigkeit

Trust the Germans to have a name for it. It's even in the dictionary: Springtiredness.

For that feeling creeps up some time between March and April. You know, when you don't want to go to work, but you don't want to stay home, no foods seem remotely appetizing, and the movie theater a block up the hill seems impossibly far away?

The Symptoms? Fatigue, Headache, Dizziness, Joint Pain, Apathy...
The Cure? Eat fruits and vegetables, Sunshine, Exercise, or.....

Get a Haircut
