Fall backwards

Today we fall backwards.

Shorter days and longer nights.

Which means it literally gets dark at, not 530pm, but 430pm.

And fuels a nano panic attack in me to get everything checked off the list, before the sun goes down.

Which isn't really a bad thing if you ask me. Plus (and thank God) the snow is still a novelty for me. AND it'll be our first full and proper winter in the Big Apple. Well, somewhat *see below.

There is such a thing called Seasonal Affective Disorder a.k.a. SAD or winter blues, which the hubs suffers mildly from. He is just a much more happier and sprightly person in warm weather. Poor sod. At least there is snowboarding - his favourite sport, to keep him motivated. Plus, this year we cheat! We get two summers because we'll be flying home in February i.e. the dead of winter.

Yay.
