I have a sunlamp that I use at work and I've started taking vitamin D to help out as well. I started using them late this winter and it did help out a little, but the problem I was having with the sunlamp was learning just how long to keep the lamp on at a stretch, since I probably shouldn't have it on all day. I'm also experimenting with the proper location for it. Some of my co-workers complain that it's too bright when they pass my desk. I also think that the sunlamp can be kind of like the iron/B12 I take. Eventually I start feeling really good and convince myself that I don't need them any more. I really do need to stop listening to the little voice ...

As for Ratchet/Smokey, I'm finding myself very tempted to take on some of the prompt challenges. I've always found fanfic100 to be more than a little daunting, but the tformers100 challenge is a bit easier to take on.
