sunlamp

Now that the entire season is finished, sunlamps bathe baselines in UV light.

The extra green light, they say, could be used to reinforce the day-night cycle, which may be crucial for proper development—a sort of cocoon sunlamp for dreary jungle days.

Despite the occasional minor splurge — a used Nintendo Switch and a new armchair — their retail therapy has been limited to a few items purchased out of boredom, like a new sunlamp and some sweaters.

And if all it takes to turn things around is a groundhog’s shadow, well, bust out the snow shovels and the sunlamp.

Yet, as sunlamps descended and the white coats turned Fendi yellow, I suddenly found myself wondering what had become of that mood ring I had in seventh grade.
