It’s June 12 today. Normally, just citing a day is no big deal but we are less than 10 days away from the summer solstice – the longest daylight we have all year and, most importantly, the point from which the sun starts to set earlier.
This drives me batty.
I am just starting to enjoy these long days and now it’s gone! Why can’t the sun be like this until October? I wouldn’t mind if we get 8:30PM sunsets until the last week of August, and then gradually shorten the day throughout September.
Why must life take the most simple of joys from me?? 😂
Because it’s pool season now, I wanted to just pass along an FYI to you parents of young kids, grandparents
…or parents of children in their 30’s and 40’s that refuse to grow up lol
I bought a variation of this snorkeling mask from Amazon.
Complaints? None! it’s great and it’s awesome for what it does.
However, I would caution against having it on and swimming in the water with it for more than 6 minutes at a time. Make sure that you take it off, huff some good ol’ natural oxygen from our loving mother planet and then put it back on to do more swimming. Why I don’t recommend keeping this on for more than 6 minutes is because the trapped air you breathe in from the mask part is the CO2 you exhale while swimming.
You breathe more of that CO2 and you’ll get the headache from hell, staggering around your living room and kitchen in a frantic existential daze wondering if Death has finally had enough of your crazy antics and has come to take you out of the gene pool.
Don’t ask me how I discovered this.
Lastly, I want to keep this wealth of daylight – I really do. But I also know that this same wealth of daylight may be making me procrastinate, or maybe even making me overload myself with stuff to do to the point that my watch says it’s already 11PM when the last time I looked at it the time was 9:30AM.
Yes, time flies when you’re having fun but it also flies when you’re packing your day in a manner that you otherwise wouldn’t have done if it were the shorter days of winter. This is for me at least.
It’s like I’m taking that herb cigar from the famous video game Metal Gear and smoking away hours upon hours of my day but the difference with me is that there’s no tactical stealth advantage in doing this 😂
(I wish I had time to even play video games at this point)
Have a great weekend y’all
