A blog of no uncertain musings. What goes on in my mind is often a source of wonder to me.

When You're Awake, Get Up
Gonna be one of those days, I think. I've been awake since just before 4 am this morning. I know that once my brain starts working for the day, there's little chance I'll get back to sleep.

But I'm a stubborn coot and I'll lay there, essentially wasting time trying to get back to sleep, all the while knowing that's a useless effort. I finally got up at 5:20 and turned on the laptop. I do have a memoir story I've been working on for several weeks. Guess I could pull it up.

Ah, but first--the daily task of five.

A question:  How long do you lay awake in bed trying to go back to sleep before you give in and get up?
