Each day this week, I’m sitting at work at 4:30pm, but it feels like 10:30pm, because it is pitch dark outside!!! Not just sunset or getting dark, pitch dark!!!! I start feeling like I’ve worked late. We’ve all worked late and there are certain feelings associated with it (pressure, trying to crank something out, tiredness, adventure, etc . . .) I start feeling like this every afternoon before I go home. By the time I get home and we have dinner, Valerie & I figure it must be time for the kids to go to bed, but it is only 6pm. How can that be? It’s been dark for 2 hours.
It will get worse into December.
There are plenty of people that live farther north than me (St. Petersburg, Russia gets dark at 2 or 3pm), but it is one of the major things to get used to here.
Another thing is coming soon. Maybe snow this weekend!!
