Hmm. It felt like summer would never end – and then, all of a sudden, it’s done. I went to New Orleans with predictions of Seattle temperatures in the low nineties; I came back and drizzle and grey have begun. Today I put the summer hats in the closet, and I think it may be time to pull the False God out of its resting place in the studio closet soon.
Oddly enough, despite it being less sunny, I’m waking up bouncy and energetic around 9AM. It might be jetlag, I dunno. I’ll enjoy it while it lasts.
On today’s task list: shower, draw page 112 of Rita (and hopefully get it up before midnight), spend a couple hours being tattooed, work on header images for the kickstarter, get petted by Nick.
Even being here during the transition it caught me completely off-guard. My wake-up light also isn’t being very effective, since I was used to having it AND the natural light in the morning. I really should have turned it off during the summer.
Or maybe it just seems ineffective because now my sunlamp-assisted wakeup is still more depressed than my previous baseline. Turning it off entirely is probably not a very good idea at all (unless I really want the other side of the I-5 overpass railing to start looking attractive again).
