We are apparently never going to see sunlight again. There was a little bit of sun yesterday afternoon, and I sat outside and absorbed as much as I could. I’m hoping there’s a little bit again this afternoon, but the forecast doesn’t mention it. All it mentions is cloudy skies, rain, and upcoming storms.

I shouldn’t complain, because we really do need the rain after having been in drought conditions for so long, but the lack of sunshine really gets me down. I have also begun to suspect that my insomnia is directly related to lack of sunshine as well. I need the cues the sun gives me to function it seems. If the forecast for the coming week is correct, I guess I won’t be fully functional for another week. Just wonderful.

I’m also getting a little down because Lin is working too hard and he’s almost never home. When he is home, he’s so tired, he is just no fun to be around. I feel like I have barely seen him at all for weeks now. It’s still better than it was when he was physically out of town all the time for work, but just having his sleeping form located somewhere in the house really isn’t that much of an improvement.

This morning I am reminding myself that it will get better. The sun will come out, the rain will stop, I will get some proper sleep, and Lin’s work schedule will slow down again … eventually.
