I gotta move. The winter solstice was yesterday and the sun just set behind the trees at 3:47 PM. It doesn’t help that Redmond is in a valley so it sets early. I made the 405 – 90 – Seattle – 520 – Redmond loop this afternoon to soak in the sun while it was out. The darkness and constant work from home is driving me crazy. I’ve been out every single night for the past five days, just to go elsewhere. I leave for Oklahoma in the morning and I’m already pondering going to the U district this evening to wander.
I haven’t been on any good road trips since moving, and I just discovered how cheap it is to fly down the coast. I need to make some trips to the SF bay and LA to go exploring.
This is why my work hours are 9-6. I expect it to be night when I walk outside at 6pm much more than at 4 or 5 pm.
