Dark Thirty*

The time change hasn't happened (quite) yet but the days are (of course) getting noticeably shorter.

I haven't been sleeping well (a story I may tell later... or not) which means that when I see it's "pitch black" out my brain wants to go to bed but then I look at the clock and it's MAAAAAAYBE 8:30 and that's just way too early to go to bed (and actually sleep the full night) so then I get whiny in my head that I can't go to bed yet so why is it already dark.

*Dramatic sigh* 

 

*"Dark thirty",  by the way, is the answer I got my first year at Burning Man when I asked someone what time the man burned.  (I wanted to know what time to head out from the city to open playa, this answer was.... unhelpful but mildly amusing I suppose.  There is a start time.  It's not "dark thirty".)
