Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My only real complaint about DST is that I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE AN HOUR OF SLEEP BECAUSE OF IT. I do not adapt well to time changes. Yes, jet-lag is a given if I travel anywhere out of my time zone.
Today I learned that young, chirpy, Very Christian girls like to go to the local women-only spa after church, and talk loudly about how exulted they feel, knowing about the glory of G-d, and that they wish they could bring the gospel to more people. Which, yay them, but loud religious conversations are not what I expect while I'm soaking in a hot tub.
However, one of them did ask me what one of my tattoos said. "It's in Latin, right?" she asked, smiling the smile of someone full of religious zeal.
"Yes, it is. Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc; it means 'we gladly feast on those who would subdue us'. It's the traditional motto of the Addams Family."
She didn't talk to me after that.
bwah! that is hilarious!
Noon isn't really the middle of the modern day!
It should be! Noon should stay noon, dammit. Sundials forever!
Also, your modern day and mine are clearly not the same. 8-6 daylight is SO MUCH WORSE than 7-5
That is amazing, Jilli.
Eek--I mean, at least the place is open on Sundays, unlike the Korean one which is closed Sundays because they're so Christian? But ick.
I got up all early, and did yoga, and now it's almost 5pm and I have not left the house again. I did roast up some broccoli and some cauliflower. But I feel I really ought to have accomplished something today. ...not sure WHAT, but something.

I guess not. I have to be at my desk by 7:30, so usable morning daylight isn't really an option for me either way. I get off at 3:30 which usually means home by 4:30, so an extra hour of daylight at the end of the day is far more usable for me than an extra hour in the morning.
Not sure what your schedule is, but something more 9 to 5ish might be better on the other schedule, since it is basically my reverse in that either option will have a dark evening...
I am home. I'm unpacked, doing laundry, and I've made a grocery run. I guess this means it's hockey time.
Hydrate, shrift, hydrate. That is the key.
I definitely did not do enough of that.
She didn't talk to me after that.
I adore you, Jilli.
Hee, Jilli!
I am tired and my feet hurt. So much still to do. And some of it definitely has to be done today.
Figured out what to do with the cabbage and celery, at least. Stir fry with chicken, currently marinating. The celeriac I'll fry up tomorrow morning and pretend it's hash browns. Ended up with 2.5 qt. of vegetable stock, which is a very reasonable amount. It is ready to go into the freezer if it doesn't get eaten up by Thursday. So the kitchen is in pretty good shape.
Laundry is kicking my ass and I can't really pack until more laundry is done.
I should be more concerned with leaving my front yard in good shape. Meh. Maybe after work Tuesday. Maybe not.
Gris, my work schedule is 7-3:30. I hate getting up in the dark with a white hot fiery passion.
