The Midnight Sun.


This was me all day.  My son's girlfriend saw me and exclaimed "You look really nice!  Where did you go?"  It just goes to show you how often I DON'T wear real clothes or leave my FitFlops at home.  Even in the summer, the yoga pants are never far away.  You know the drill:  Super Sunday, Maybe Saturday, the occasional meeting, and whatever is easy and comfortable the rest of the week which usually means yoga pants and my beloved yet beat up "Floppers".  I made an effort to pair comfort with cuteness today. I succeeded. I was so comfortable in fact, that I just emerged from a four hour nap, still wearing everything but the shoes. 



 My sister finds reasons to wake me.  During said nap, she sat on my bed for about 20 minutes (maybe longer, I was in a melatonin stupor, but I didn't take any) and commented on every random thing she could think of.  I think she thought I was sick, but I was really just sleepy.  She called after she left, waking me up once again, to comment on the clouds.  "Oh yeah.  Cool."  After I said that, she hung up.  I'm pretty sure she heard my lack of interest, but for some reason, I fell asleep again, only to wake suddenly.  I looked out of the window and saw the most amazing clouds!  Sleepy as I was, I got my camera (not my phone) and went outside.  
 Now this is obviously the sun shining through the clouds.  (The bright orange light is a streetlight, btw)  Except that I'm facing EAST and it's 8:30 at night. What the heck?  I eventually decided that it must be the moon.  I looked down the street and saw what was obviously a storm coming:


After five minutes, I went back to the "midnight sun", except it wasn't there.  I am so glad that I have the pictures to prove this oddity:


Just five minutes later the mysterious light was gone, and the storm never came.  

I was actually looking forward to it.  Lord, please don't let me regret that I said that!
