Winter Solstice

Posted on December 22, 2008 by LeSombre

Yesterday was the shortest day of the year. Well, the day still went for 24 hours, but it’s the shortest daylight duration in the whole year, with 8 hours and 18 minutes of daylight. You know what a solstice is right?

So what did I do during those 8 hours and 18 minutes of daylight?

Well, I got up, had some peanut butter and banana toasts, and a little bit of rice pudding for breakfast. Then I surfed the web for about one hour, reading blogs, writing interview questions and just chillin’. Then I thought it was time for an espresso, and walked to the kitchen… and kept walking past the kitchen, up the stairs and in the bedroom, where I lay down and proceeded to have a 6-hour nap. 

Of course, when I woke up it was already dark outside. I still had to shovel the 8-10 inches of snow I had in the driveway. 

Needless to say, this day went by like a cheetah with it’s ass on fire.

Let me take a moment here to send great vibes to Dave2 from Blogography, who spent the whole day stuck in Sea-Tac, to finally decide to spend the week in Seattle. I’m guessing this day didn’t feel go by as quickly for him.

    @Delmer: They all laughed at me when I choose “Super-napping” as my power. Who’s laughing now? Ha!

    @DutchBitch: I know the feeling. :-(

    I’m not sure 6 hours qualifies as a “nap” anymore.
    And yes, just the thought of Dave’s adventures in airports this weekend causes me pain…
    xo
