Alaska: A Nice Place To Visit, Not To Live

I realize more and more that I am a slave to the sun. I thrive under it. When the sun is out, I am energized and alive. Every year when the time change comes, it hits me hard. I stop being able to function after 5pm. I go to normal events that I attend weekly at 7pm and feel like it is the middle of the night. I am not joking when I say that I am IN BED by 7:30pm. Absolutely ridiculous. I have NO idea how the people of Alaska (or anywhere farther north) survive during those months when the sun is out for maybe an hour every day. I know for certain that I would shrivel up and die. Truth.

This weekend I figured out what I want to be when I grow up. While I was thrifting, I had a brilliant idea. In the back of most thrift stores, they have lovely elderly people helping sift through and price items that have been donated. And I realized there were used puzzles on sale. I thought…how do they know that the complete puzzle is in there? And that’s when I came up with the best job description yet…I will be the puzzle putter-together-er person in the back of the store. What a lovely thought! They could set me up with a little table in the back and I would just sit there for hours doing puzzles. And I’m sure I could invite people over to join me with my job. So I’d be socializing AND doing puzzles! Brilliant!

Hard to believe that Halloween is tomorrow. We are going to a costume party on Friday and I have not been able to decide what to wear. I just remembered how everyone is always saying my husband looks exactly like Flynn Rider from Tangled and I just happen to have a blond, floor-length wig, so I’m gonna try to throw something together last minute. Honestly, the hardest part will be convincing my husband to put on a costume. I’ll post pictures if I’m successful. Wish me luck!
