The Winter Solstice occurs exactly when the earth’s axial tilt is farthest away from the sun at its maximum of 23° 26′. Though the Winter Solstice lasts an instant in time, the term is also colloquially used like Midwinter to refer to the day on which it occurs. For most people in the high latitudes this is commonly known as the shortest day and the sun’s daily maximum position in the sky is the lowest. The seasonal significance of the Winter Solstice is in the reversal of the gradual lengthening of nights and shortening of days. The Winter Solstice is also the shortest day or lowest sun position for people in low latitudes located between the Tropic of Cancer (23°26′N) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23°26′S). Depending on the shift of the calendar, the winter solstice occurs some time between December 21 and December 22 each year in the Northern Hemisphere, and between June 20 and June 21 in the Southern Hemisphere.[2]

Finally settled down a little.
My new helper is doing great making my juice! I had a bell buzzer installed above my bed that is very loud I can ring when I need something!… Its great but I try not to abuse it. Taw can hear from his room as well. Its nice to have during the night for emergencies. The new lady is quite stocky and strong. She was already saying she has taken care of sick patients before and had to help move people from beds to wheelchairs. She was already sizing me up sayin at any moment I look like I could fall down, put she would have no problem picking me back up! That made me laugh! Nice to know now as the unpredictability of my health continues.
All else seems ok I guess. Still wish i could accomplish more things. So happy that the training is almost over. I must say everyday is a new unique challenge and obstacles to overcome. I have had 5 power failures, and 5 water failures in my home in the past week! UNBELIEVABLE ! THESE PEOPLE HAVE NOT LEARNED TO FIX THINGS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! ALOT OF HANGERS, TAPING, POOR WIRING, OLD EQUIPMENT, ETC. ETC. I AM SO SICK OF THAT SHIT. it comes down to I dont care how much the new one is, just buy the damn thing and DO IT RIGHT!
