Today is the shortest, darkest day of the year and since it has snowed all day it really has been a dark day. It was like the sun didn't even BOTHER to show up today.
Today sunrise was at 9:20 a.m. and sunset will be 4:28 pm - that is 7 hours, 7 minutes and 50 seconds for those of you who want to know precisely.
We celebrated by going to the bank to deposit Christmas cheques (THANK YOU, Grandma and Grandpa!! :-P) and by waiting in post office line to send an international parcel. Oh, and we also made a debt thermometer!
What is a debt thermometer you may well ask. Sunshine and I broke the debt into four pieces of $2500 each. The debt isn't quite $10,000- but close! We are going to mark off how much is paid each month and at the end of each $2500 we will have a party... that doesn't cost anything... :-)
I thought maybe it could cost something, but Sunshine says "no, that would defeat the purpose."
So it was a good day... A good, dark day. Don't worry- tomorrow will be SIX seconds longer!
