Long days, hot days, foggy days

[forestofglory]

Today is the summer solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere!

The days here have gotten fairly long. I've been waking up around 5am and its light out then, which means I can't go back to sleep. But I enjoy being awake before everyone else, even if I might like slightly more sleep.

The kid is now going to bed late enough that it is gets dark before she falls asleep -- so when haven't had a lot of complaining about going to sleep while its still light out, which is nice.

Last week we had a heat wave. It wasn't objectively that bad here just in the low 80s. However our house gets pretty hot and I was still recovering form the heat exhaustion, so I felt pretty flattened by it. Now we are back to on of my favorite bay area weather patterns, foggy mornings with sunny afternoons. The mornings are cool and gray, but gets pleasantly warm but not hot in the afternoons.

That sounds like my kind of weather (the now).

I remember those arguments when I was a kid, and never really grasping just how much later it would be before it did get dark. As an adult, I'd be happy to turn in at 8pm...

It's lovely weather!

Kids sense of time seems to be much less tied to the clock than adults

I love getting up before everyone else too. That's my me time.

[forestofglory]

Yes! It's lovely to have that time to myself.

A couple days ago I accidentally went to sleep around 5am. It's a nice time to be awake, on either side out. I've always enjoyed sunrises and early bird songs.

(You mentioned on twitter updating your bio. It's good and sounds like you. Very cozy. Love the kofi link. It's always tricky finding the right way to mention, but you'd probably like to know there is one small typo ("I'm and agnostic")

Thanks! I have fixed the typo. That sentence was left over for the old version of my bio, so that typo has been there for a while.
