I have been awake, up and about for awhile.
Being on a "night" schedule is sort of tough. Especially when one has a few days off. Typically, night-shifters tend to keep on their schedule. If one really thinks about it, there is an untapped market opportunity!
The first day/night off is no different, sleeping is in one's near future! Then there is the waking up. The first "night" off is the hardest, as your body/mind is still on a "night time" schedule, yet there are things, errands, and appointments...
Try working nights, and starting up a vacuum at 3am when everyone else is sleeping!
Understand?
One of the things I look forward to every morning, is trying to find the planet Venus. This time of year it is in the East. Then there is the Constellation Orion, the hunter...
When Orion is first visible after sunset, in the Eastern sky... in this time, it heralds the onset of Fall/Autumn. A time to prepare. Having spent time in Flagstaff, I actually watched for Orion's appearance in the East... A throwback to ancient knowledge.
Tonight, that bright 'star,' down, and to the left of the moon... that is Jupiter! Not a star but a planet! It reminds me of how small and insignificant this symbiotic parasite is!
And a few hours away, on the ecliptic, is Venus! I will probably miss it...
I need to take a ride today, as it it after midnight now. So before she rises, I will probably be sleeping, and will awake after Sol blocks out everything during the day!
