The longest day

June 21 is the summer solstice and officially the start of summer. Known as Midsommar in Sweden, it is a day of great celebration of all things light and clean. I had planned on going to a yoga class this evening to celebrate my own sense of lightness, but instead I spent 2.75 hours driving back from New Jersey, and arrived home in a crabby mood. And then the sun immediately went away and it began to rain. So, I have like 4 hours before I go to bed, and I need to find my light again.

Here is my list of what I plan to do to find it:

1. Finish some stuff for work so I don't have to do it tomorrow, so I can take a summer Friday
   
2. Make the bed
3. Clean off all of the surfaces in our house that have stuff piled on them, and actually put the stuff away
   
4. Do that load of laundry that has by laying on my bedroom floor for four days
5. Put away the laundry that has been drying on the rack for four days
6. Try out the shower in the guest bathroom
7. Light the candle Chloe gave me for my birthday that smells like the color green
8. Use my Kiehl's rare earth mud mask
9. Practice yoga

Although, not necessarily in any particular order.
