Tired but Worth it

It's been a hell of a day. Working retail at Christmas time is a true test in patience. None the less there are some surprisingly nice folks out there. It was a long and tough one today. All I wanted to do tonight was eat and crash. That however is not in the cards. Tonight is a full lunar eclipse on the winter solstice. This the first time in many hundred years and will not happen again, I am told till 2090. Times like this, I have always found it important to take advantage of the moment. The motto of you can catch up on sleep when you are dead has provided many a fantastic experience. Tonight it will be to see the moon completely shadowed by the earth. A good friend said that from the perspective of the moon, every sunrise and sunset will be visible at once. Kinda cool!
