Things I hate about autumn

[ksmith]

It's 4:17pm, CST.

It's getting dark. Granted, some of this is due to cloud cover, with rains possible overnight but still. It's 4:18pm now, CST, and it's getting dark.

It's not right.

You forgot to mention sore throats and colds. I don't mind the chill, the clouds, and the rain as much as I mind everyone getting sick!

At the risk of garnering the attention of the cold demons, I don't get sick that often--haven't had a cold of note for a few years.

Here's hoping that doesn't change...

I was thinking the same thing today.

Waiting another three weeks just made the disconnect more noticeable.

It's now 703am, and still dark because of the overcast. We had rain o/n. With thunder, even. Sinuses feel full. Time for coffee and hot cereal.

I'm reversing things right now, which seems a bit odd but is working. I still may do caffeine in the AM, but I do the cereal in the pm. Sleeping better, less bloated. Try to stop protein by 3 pm, 5 pm latest, but days like today throw me off. (Out with friends for BBQ.)

Who knew?

Gloomy isn't the half of it. This is the time of year when I lose the sun for days on end. I go to work at 5:30 p.m. and seldom leave the house before 5, so in a couple of weeks I will have no sun at all since I get off work at 4 a.m. Even if I stayed up until 6 or 7, that's not long enough for sun. Ah, well, once I get rid of my internet Wednesday, I may actually start walking or running before work again...

I'm trying to take King out for a walk every morning. The nice thing about that is that I get to see some daylight. I also work in a windowed area, so I can see the sun. But it still gets depressing when you see it headed for the western horizon at blasted 330 in the afternoon.

When I'm in the Tucson area this time of year, once the sun goes down behind the mountains, man is it cold! Taking the heavy coat, if we go this year....
