I was caught off guard yesterday that when I got back home from buying veggies and gimbap from the Korean mart, it was already very dark. I took the jeep at 5 pm and after my errands were done, I thought I was out for 2 hrs because it was already dark. Nope, it was only 6 pm.

Mid-autumn festivals are done and we’re getting closer to winter. We don’t have that here but we in the tropics can feel that days are getting shorter.

I can feel my body craving rest, the instinct to hibernate until sunny days are back again. Exhaustion is taking over so much that I will take PTO next week for my birthday.

I haven’t fully recovered yet from whatever virus struck me last week that caused me to sleep the entire weekend. My veggie shopping last night left me so tired that dinner for me and my kids consisted of only gimbap.
