The Day

I have spent the day moving from one project to another, without a moment’s down time. And, yet, unfortunately, few projects are completed. I did take time for dinner with Julie tonight after a meeting.

I had planned to continue decorating when I got home but I worked on cards instead. I have four Christmas letters left. I think I will just not send letters with any other cards I send. I don’t want to have to make more. Maybe I’ll call office max and see if they still have it in their system – if so maybe I’ll get more. If I have to resend the whole thing it’s not worth it.

I suppose it’s quite presumptuous of me to think anyone will want to read my Christmas letter anyway, so it doesn’t matter. I think everything in it of any consequence is on the blog anyway.

Tomorrow I’m going to do some running around town.It’s supposed to be a nice day, and it may be the last one for awhile. So, I’m going to make use of it. I have a long list of MHA things to take care of and some of them require some running around. I’ll enjoy them much more if it’s 70 than I will if it’s 30.

I am going to head upstairs to bed – it’s rare for me to do that before midnight but I got up very early today and haven’t slept well lately.

Sleep and I never seem to be on the best of terms. I never, ever, get it when people talk about wanting to sleep – it’s a bit of torture for me every day/night. And napping – oh my – why would I want to do it more than I already have to?

If I can just squeeze in about 6 hours a night that’s plenty. I’m guessing I may actually sleep about 4 of those hours, and about 90 minutes of that is deep, restful sleep. I’m awake 4 hours after going to sleep and will go back to sleep for another two hours – waking often, but resting some. Then for another hour or two after I wake up I try to write or read so I’m at least getting rest even if I can’t sleep.
