    Saturday was really warm here, like “t-shirt and jeans weather” warm.

    I was in the middle of walking between buildings when the clouds broke.

    I immediately turned toward the sun and for one, shining moment, I channeled the spirit of Solaire of Astoria. For a brief moment, I was so grossly incandescent.

    I decided “fuck this I’m going home and practicing archery.” so I stood out in the sun for an hour and a half until the sun dipped below the trees.

    I really need to get one of those full spectrum light panels that helps with seasonal affective disorder, or like a vitamin d lamp or something. It doesn’t help that my current residence has no windows, so all light is artificial and to get any sun I have to actually go outside.

      This was me this past Tuesday. Full arms out, tee and shorts, soaking up every last drop of warmth like a starved plant.

      Hopefully it’ll sustain me until proper spring but it was glorious for that moment.

        Maybe I’m just a pessimist these days but all I could think about the whole time was, it’s 72F in fucking February, I might legitimately die working out here when June or July roll around. Summer is going to be real bad here.

      Maybe healthy interior design needs to look more like a terrarium.

        Windows are expensive and developers want to maximize profit, so spec-built homes often have the minimum amount of fenestration required by the building code.

        I would like that, the structure would not.

        For now all I have is a dragon tree that needs extra attention I need advice on, and an aloe plant.
