bring on the solstice

[rivet]

Cold, drizzly, and dark, dark, dark. I had a lovely weekend of activity and company and delicious things, but when the activity stops, I feel the underlying hibernation desire. No oomph for anything unless I stay in constant motion. I will get myself to this week's solstice, but I feel like I'm pulling myself there by my fingernails. Soon I will turn sunward again. I know that it will continue to be cold and dark for a couple months, but I can console myself with the fractional growth every day.

I scheduled my Northern holiday mid-Aug to mid-Sept to accomodate Burning Man, but it's June/July when I feel like I really need it.
