what a little sunshine can do

those of you who are blog veterans out there, is it normal that people never comment on your posts? i feel like i keep expecting that people will have something to say, but every day it's the same: 0 comments.

today was a beautiful sunny day in seattle. it's amazing what a little sunshine can do to a girl's outlook. i sat in the park and read for a while after church this morning and generally worked on producing some vitamin d from those warm and luscious rays. yesterday was grey and cloudy, convincing me that it was cold enough to wear long pants and closed shoes and a sweatshirt. today was pretty much the same temperature, yet the sun made it feel nearly tropical. i sported my sandals and a t-shirt and rolled up my pants into faux-capris. lovely.

tomorrow i have my orientation in the hospital. i have to be there early, but not as early as i will have to be there on every other tuesday for the rest of the quarter. the way things have been going lately i haven't been falling asleep until a couple of hours before i have to get up in the morning. so here's to hoping the sandman does a good job tonight. i have received recommendations to take a benedryl or some night-time medicines, but i have enough trouble waking up in the morning without any lingering effects from drugs. plus, i usually try and stick to the natural options if possible. so i'm off to drink some warm milk and chammomile tea and douse myself with lavender smells...
more tomorrow.
