And the 1:00am supply, too.
I know it’s not healthy. Maintaining a sleep pattern is important, and I try. But somehow I don’t think that sleep pattern ought to be “I just need to update a dozen more things and schedule some tweets then grab the pet breakfasts and put that last glass in the dishwasher so I can start it running before heading to bed. Whoops! Don’t forget to put out the morning medicine. Okay, NOW I can head to bed. Except I was supposed to email two people back but I guess that’s gonna have to wait until morning. I mean, it’s technically morning but I should probably wait until it’s the-sun-is-up morning. NOW GO TO BED.”
And that right there should be explanation enough for why sometimes I skip #37 on a Friday post or ramble incoherently about this thing or that. Or the other thing that I forgot I wanted to talk about.
It also means I have a growing list of things I’ve wanted to write about but haven’t been able to commit the time to work on properly. I started to put an example in here but have drawn a complete blank which should be alarming except MIDNIGHT OIL.
I’m off to bed. We’ll start fresh in the morning.
Hope sleep comes soon.

That is almost as bad as drawing a mostly complete blank only to be interrupted and having to start blanking again. Yup midnight oil… not only a slippery slope and a dark one too.

Any of the interrupted-then-tried-to-begin-again scenarios are a nightmare for me. Once I’m derailed it’s *really* hard to gain my footing again.

perhaps those tweets are not that important after all. Perhaps that last dish could wait to go into the dishwasher till morning, and it could be run then. Why is it we put all these stresses unto ourselves, when in actuality most things do not require attention right that moment. Expectations of self be damned!

I’ve gotten (mostly) better about leaving things that can wait. I’m in the middle of an enormous fundraising project for the school so it’s easy to get pulled down that rabbit hole — keeping up today means not feeling under the gun tomorrow. The trick is to find the balance.

Laura, you sound a lot like my bride of 35 years. I can only suggest some consistent sleep pattern. I have found I do not need an alarm anymore, as a result. But, that is what works for me. Now, if I can just get this old bladder to go to sleep and reduce the number of trips to the bathroom…..Keith
