[Mind's Eye] Re: Do you live by Day... or embrace the night

I think I can enjoy either. I need more sleep now, it seems- the
children sort of controlled the home time zones and days could be
long- up with the baby and waiting for a child to be home safe-
finally, I left a lamp on that they had to turn off. Summer days of
extreme heat and humidity are as difficult as winter blizzards and
-20- so I respect the weather. I think some people get depressed
without light and sunshine, short days, lousey weather so maybe that
affects moods more than clocks.
