So a late daylight savings time change, but it sure was nice to get up "an hour later" for work this morning. The sucko side, dark at 5:30pm. Oh well, it just means yard work has to wait for the weekends, that's about the only difference. Maybe it will mean I'll actually start sleeping normally if it's dark earlier. Been getting about 4-5 hours most nights because I can't fall asleep until after midnight and wake up around 5am even if the alarm isn't set until 6am. I do tend to sleep more in winter, hibernation I guess.
I am totally assed up for the holidays now. They are going to be so different this year but that's a good thing I think. I can't wait for Thanksgiving. Flying out there with the kidlet (ok, so I am hoping the cold weather holds off for the trip north, but it probably won't), having a few days away from everything here. It will be so nice. Then, Christmas right around the corner. It's just about time to start baking cookies and making menus. It will be a pleasantly low key year I think. Not much money, so no real shopping aside from a few little things. Everyone coming here, so get to avoid the travel issues. A whole two weeks off from work (without taking vacation days, hear that stupid U of I?). Holidays in historical Williamsburg complete with Christmas Eve bonfire. I just can't wait. It seems a very fitting plan for a new set of traditions.
