Just remembered that the only way I manage to not become completely untethered post vernal equinox is to make heavy use of my blackout curtains to enforce a false night / Fools Evening.
rn, cos I don't even have work to schedule my day, I'm even more lost. Between 2pm and sunset is The Long Hour
@anandamide I used to love long summer evenings but in recent years I have come to dread them as my anxiety often makes me crave darkness and silence after about 8pm. The blackout curtains are great but in the summer if it’s hot and I have to have the window open I can hear kids still playing out in the street and it makes me feel like such a freak
@purplepadma when I first started closing the curtains around 7ish I felt like such a weirdo, especially around midsummer when it's still blazing daylight. But I'm so sensitive to light levels... And if I'm on my own I can just put in my noise cancelling headphones and leave the world outside. I get up at 5:30, I can't be up too late!
