I'm holding on very much to the long evenings right now.
I actually got quite sad when we hit Summer Solstice because it means the days are heading yet again towards being shorter... and darker and man oh man do I love SO MUCH when it's still light at 9 pm.
I know we still have a couple of months of the really long days so I'm trying to just be in that while they're here.
I'm typing this, for example, at 9:36 pm, with my blinds still open and the sky still with a lot of light in it. I mean, sure, it's dusk...evening... but it's light out. And I ate my dinner when it was light out and I felt like my day was long and that I could accomplish a lot.
I wonder if it would be easier to live nearer the equator and have even days all year, or to live here in Summer and the Southern equivalent in Winter. Is that part of what "snowbirding" is?
Anyway... the long days are so so amazing and I love them.
Yes, even if I wake up earlier than I'd like, I still love them.
Whoops. Double Whoops!
I have an (older) Apple laptop, and some of you who do as well, may know the frustration of the charger cords. They are absolutely the weak point of these devices and constantly fray and break. Especially, it seems, for me, probably due to the angle of my cord compared to where it has to plug in and where I spend most of my time. So because this part breaks so much, I get tired of paying the $100 for the replacement I know isn't going to live all that long. Last time I got a replacement I tried to fortify the break point, but it still went. And then I ordered a slightly cheaper one off of Amazon. It didn't come from apple, but arrived with all apple branding, so... I figured it was real enough. *shrug* It frayed as well, and this time the protective coating was only slightly split so I left it for a while, intending to get some electrical tape to seal it up for a while. Which is why I was not so happy to hear and see it spark when I went to plug it in...
