Look at all those ramblings!

I am majorly channelling ancestral habits right now. The moment the sun starts to set, that's roughly before 4pm right now, I get this irresistible need to just lie down and sleep for a while. I wake up an hour or so later, fresh as a daisy, cup of tea or cacao and I'm good to go for another few hours and then go to bed as regularly scheduled. It's not a post-lunch siesta type of thing, it really follows the sun and before it usually coincided with my coming home from work, it really wasn't a problem. Now I feel like I should have a sign on my forehead saying "don't even attempt to talk to me" from around 3pm till 5pm and every day it should appear earlier and earlier up until mid-December. I really am brain dead then. It's both rather sad and quite fascinating, if you ask me. I can see why it would have been useful back in the old days, you get up at 5:25am to feed the animals and take care of the house, you go work outside while it's light, the moment it gets dark you have a little nap and then you're up again, feeling refreshed, and have a couple more hours of fresh brain activity to ponder other essentials aspects of peasant life. The "double shift" sleeping pattern is quite commonly associated with the pre-industrial revolution era, it's just weird I'm channelling it so vividly, isn't artificial light supposed to destroy the body's sun-seeking rhythm (I bet there is a proper name for that, probably starting with "helio")? I'm pretty sure that it happens every single year but, as with almost everything related to the oncoming darkness, I am always surprised when it does. Right. And in the meantime, I'm slowly, once again, losing the battle against the hundreds of photos accumulating everywhere. I'm just not too much in the mood for post-processing stuff these days, reading has been way more entertaining. Anywho, wayback machine trip! To September 22nd and sunshine and decent temperatures and red berries! I should go check if those berries are still around. Technically speaking they should last the winter, I do believe that birds don't quite like those even though they're that red.

Guess who's late with thanking peeps for being awesome and providing me with mail? Thank you, Andrea and Helena! And see these three cards? Each one was a mini-novel. So much amazingness coming from Tallinn! Kadri, you're beyond awesome! And in other news in the land of fun things, I've put up scheduled posts for all of next week so that's that. I think I got to roughly mid-October with those. Oh, and Kimster won something and swore during an interview. We shall celebrate with an icon of his wife. I am pretty sure I am the only person on LJ who actually has a few icons of Jenni and none of Kimi.
