The Daylight Almanac

A week of your own daylight hours, kept the way an almanac keeps a coastline's. Every day gets a first light — the hour you actually came online, not the hour you sat down — a last light, and one line for what that stretch was for. The times are measured and drawn as a bar on a single shared 5am–11pm lane, so seven days stop being a list and become a shape: where your light clusters, which days barely opened, how much of the week ran on the same three hours. Below the table it totals the light you actually had, the average day, and the day that ran longest, then leaves an observation line for what the light was doing this week. Days you haven't recorded still print, ruled and ticked, to fill in by hand as the week goes. Nobody gets more hours. An almanac only records which ones you were awake for.
