Darkness seeps in...

It was amazing the difference a couple of days made in the pathetic remaining daylight this morning. I no longer need to open my blinds because I leave before it is light out and I come home after it is dark. My bookends are black and I'M BEGINNING TO GO cRaZy!!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw 5 suns on the forecast, last Monday. We don't get five days of sunlight in a row here, I thought I was in Colorado, not Wisconsin. I did my best to get outside during my lunch break, and I think I even got a little sun-kissed putting on my make up in the porch on Thanksgiving, but it wasn't enough.

I'm not sure which is more frustrating: the simple fact that there is so little light and so much dark, or the fact that I feel like the darkness puts an insane curfew on what I deem safe to do in this city (not that I always follow it). I'm leaning towards the latter - it saddens me that I even have to worry about watching my back when I get off the bus early to get some air, in the evening, and it infuriates me that no one seems to care. YOUR WOMEN DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THE DARKNESS AND YOU DON'T EVEN NOTICE!

Ah, thanks. I've wanted to voice that for a long time. Now, I'm off to shave my legs and maybe find a kick boxing class to take again. Couldn't hurt, unless you cross me, then you should be certain it would :)
