Where’s my sun?

Will Rinkoff

Hey Mom?

Yes?

Have you seen my sun?

It’s broken, fallen and cracked on the floor, bulb burst, but shards contained in a box (away from the dog, thank God).

I’ll grab a new one soon at Bed Bath and Beyond.

I don’t know if we need another, if it’s just the burst bulb, not the sun

But it’s a challenge to find a bulb online. Considering you use it every day, your brother too, (he says it helps him feel he’s awake), and with the sky’s sun covered in cloud, I don’t want either of you missing a day of light.

…

Although I can’t reason why Vitamin D pills don’t do the trick.

Well vitamin D only works for the skin.

As for the sun, thorough research is still in early stages. But they do know that it’s your eyes taking in the light, that tells your brain the day is here (whether the brain wants day or not). Like, in my morning order of get up, get showered, get downstairs, get 2 cups of frozen fruit, and some oats, some almonds, and a couple cups of coffee, turn on the sun for 25-30 minutes more if time permits check the news, then the clock, then to school, there is only one step truly speaking to human nature, that gestures my unconscious back towards cognition.

I suppose it’s best to pick one up. I suppose… Anyway, Carry on
