DO NOT WANT

[tesla]

I hate February. It would be hard to overstate how unlike myself I feel during this benighted month.

I would gladly sleep through it. The main problem with hibernating, however, is that humans don't. So my circadian rhythms get a little wacky, and I sleep when I'm tired, and then I find myself awake at the most unlikely hours.

I want the sun back, please.

But for now, I'm just going to sleep. G'night!

Perhaps you will join me in my crusade to switch August and February. We need a nice, hot, languid month in the middle of winter. And we need to chill out during the hot summers with a short burst of cool.

It is just getting to the point where it is fully light when I go out to catch my bus to work. This does great things for my mood in the morning.

But there's even less sun in January... the days are getting longer now.

Yes, but for me the effect seems to be cumulative, so my recovery curve lags behind the hours-of-sunlight curve.

And this weekend is Marscon, which means much entertaining music!

For me, it can be a tossup between February and March. I had February 4 flagged on my calendar, since on that day there were a full 60 minutes more sunup than on Dec. 21. I too feel sunlight deficit cumulatively, so it's not usually a problem until January or so, when, technically, the sun is already coming back.
But in an ordinary winter (this is the first time in a decade or more that we've had any noticeable amount of "normal" winter weather) March is an endurance test. Whose dregs of stamina will last longer, mine of winter's? And with the crack-the-whip changes in March weather, it ain't over til it's over.
