It&#8217;s mostly due to her job as a nurse; she wakes around 3:30 AM and shows up by 4:30 AM. This isn&#8217;t all bad. Jennifer gets to punch out by 1 PM followed by a nap. Her situation reminds me of how morning-show DJs live, especially when they have to make personal appearances in the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I told her, today her national nightmare is over. After this evening, the sun will go back to setting sooner and sooner every day. With Austin, sunset on this day tends to be 8:35 PM, much too later for Jennifer! Good thing we don&#8217;t live \u00a0in Alaska or Europe. On the latter, it&#8217;s hard to believe that the major population centers where many American ancestors originated from lived with such extremes in &#8220;lighting.&#8221; It makes me grateful to living closer to the Equator. As much as I would enjoy the Sun being out late, it would get countered by longer, dreary, dark days. I can&#8217;t handle the latter very well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On to the Fall Equinox!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jennifer isn&#8217;t a fan of the Sun since she prefers to hit the sack around the same time old people prefer to.
