My alarm went off at 8:15 this morning. I barely registered it, because I woke up, noticed it was still dark, and immediately fell back asleep because it was still nighhttime so obviously I dreamed my alarm. Half an hour later a text woke me up and I realized that it was in fact nearly 9am... but still dark outside.
The sky above the Bay Area today was varying shades of dark, hazy orange (that one's the view from my block at 11am), like nothing I've seen before, even through multiple fire seasons in California and Colorado. It really felt like the sun never came up, and making myself focus and be productive at work was a struggle. My body and brain are both still pretty cranky about it.
In a 1:1, my coworker said "And here we are at work, like it matters," and babies let me tell you I almost shut it all down and went back to bed.
At nearly 7pm, the sky is actually... a little lighter, now? Lighter than it should be on a September 7pm. Even more confusing.
I don't have any social, political, or environmental commentary here. It's just fucking weird.
