4:16 a.m., and Still Awake

Normally, I’m annoyed that I’m awake when the rest of the world sleeps, but here it is, way dark in the morning, and the temp has fallen a few degrees, and the world is quiet. And all mine.

Even as I say that, the cat apparently heard my keyboard tapping, and has begun to demand breakfast.

So the world is all mine and the cat’s. I’m going to give up trying to sleep and make some coffee and do a bit of work–just as if night has not run straight into the next day. My friend and I talked too much yesterday, and I didn’t finish the task I’d set myself–completing the proposal I’ve been pushing aside all week for other work and sending to my editor. Darkness will not fall tonight before the proposals go.

One way to consider insomnia:  I’m not wasting time with feckless sleeping!  🙂

I hope you’re reading this hours from now, after restful sleep and slowly waking to a fun weekend!

Better go feed Kitty. He can be an angry not-so-young cat!
