Winter's getting closer. I thought the sun would be starting to rise by now. / myLot

I couldn't sleep this morning for the first time in a long while. I got up and moved to the recliner just after 5:30 am figuring by six there'd be some light streaking in but no it's still pretty dark. If I were to turn on a light it would wake my husband. I can nap in this chair when I'm tired after working windows but I don't do so well when it's time to be sleeping. I go to work earlier today, at noon, so I have to start my day earlier but not quite yet. But here I am. See you around you other early birds.

I’ve noticed the same thing. The sun sets earlier every day, too.

Yes, knowing the summer solstice changed the time for the sun rising and setting doesn't make it any easier.

That's a good way to look at it. It also goes to sleep sooner at night but when it's sunny it's not as bad as I thought. I've been missing my sunsets so I don't know what time it actually leaves us.

Yes once we get into August it's noticeable that the days are getting shorter.

I don't like it but I want given a say in the matter. Maybe one day I can migrate South.

good morning! Why could you not sleep? Are you stressed?

I'm guessing I have too much I want to get done. Laundry and cleaning. I get a lot done on Sundays but decided already to look for tunics to wear with my leggings I just purchased. I'll be going tomorrow if Kohl's opens early enough. I'm not stressed anymore than the average person which isn't saying a lot. I was thinking about my marriage after coming back from a potty break and then was awake. No stress.
