Early bird
I woke up early today and couldn't go back to sleep. This is something that has not happened to me for a long time. But there it is. Here I am.
I thought I would write about it but there isn't a whole hell of a lot to write.
I got up to pee, I went back to bed and I couldn't go to sleep.
No mental gymnastics. That used to be the occasional sleep problem. But it has been a long time since I have had anything much to vex myself about or to "rehearse" for a big day.
Today is pretty much serene. No action. In fact, I have less to do today than any day this week.
Maybe that's it. Nothing to do.
I doubt it.
I have learned that the infrequency of my sleeplessness is a blessing and I do not question that. I can take a nap anywhere any time and I always could. When I was working I would go back to my room for a 20 minute post lunch nap before starting the program work again. I have always had the mid morning nap since I started getting up at 3-ish to go to the gym at 430 and then do the rest of my day.
I feel OK. I am going to have an extra cup of coffee, finish writing this (which helps alleviate my concern over being too early). Then relax and move into the day doing "the next indicated thing" which is the way that I normally go about my business. Besides, it is almost 3 AM and almost time to get up. A little early but more near the normal time.
I found this art work. I really like it. In a funny way it woke me up. Just looking at it is kind of a glow.
OK. Booker is doing his "groaning" thing. A kind of talk that goes on all the time. Very sweet. He is ready. So am I. Let's hit it baby.
