Midnight sun

I'm a little surprised how much I miss the darkness of night. Not the December wake-up-in- the-dark, go-to-bed-in-the-dark kind of dark but the it's-time-to-sleep kind of night. The dusk gives me signals that it's time to start wrapping things up, that I should plan to go to bed. 24 hours of daylight is disorienting, however fun and novel it feels. Roger and I play Guess the Time all day. I have to check the time when I wake up at night because it could be 2 am, 6 am or noon. Room darkening shades help but the light filters through making the time checking necessary, especially if I don't want to miss a flight or a ferry. It's fun for a week, really fun, but I think I will enjoy the comfort and familiarity of nighttime darkness.
