Are you my sister? I have been called "The Princess and The Pea" too. Me, more for the reasoning that I feel everything, everything tends to bother me. If there was a pea under my mattress, I would know it, just like those invisible ones in our shoes!

As for the sunlight, it's funny you mentioned it. When Dec 21st hits us, my boss's wife says, "Good, now the days will get longer, we will see light as we walk out. At 5pm, when we leave work, it's light now...here, before the 21st, it's dark nearly by 4:30. Funny, I have lived here for 6 yrs, and I still am not used to the fact that it gets dark so early in the evening here. In the summer, 9pm, it's dark, never in Michigan. Oh well, I need the light, I enjoy the longer days.
