| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a little less dreadful Sleep continues to be a pain in the ass. I swear I have sleep anxiety--my eyes can literally be drooping shut but the second my head hits the pillow I am awake. I think, on average, that it takes me about 45 minutes to fall asleep. Oh, I can sleep for naps no problem--I mean, thank goodness or else I'd be a complete disaster--and so my days and nights are pretty much a brutal cycle of not enough sleep and then napping. And when I don't nap? That's when my eyes are drooping shut and I still can't fall asleep so, you know, screw it I'm napping. Is this part of getting older? Am I going to be one of those senior citizens who gets up at 4 a.m. to drink coffee and eat grapefruit? I mean, maybe I should get some chickens and just be done with it. On another note, G and I met up for afternoon drinks--a blessed end to this trying week--and we discussed our books. We've both read each other's draft and we had extensive notes and plenty of commiseration and I think it gave me a much-needed kick in the metaphorical pants. Said book is nowhere close to being ready for public-ish consumption (someday, someday) but I feel a little less dreadful about it all now. C. is at a show in SF tonight and I'm sitting here with the side door open listening to the wind trying to decide if I want to zone out on TV or read a book. I'd lean toward reading but I've already decided to skip yoga tomorrow (because of this horrid post-cold cough that won't go away) and reading in the morning with a cup of coffee is Top 5 one of my favorite things to do so it's rather nice to hold off in anticipation of the chilly fall weather and the promise of that first perfect first sip. 9:10 pm - 29.09.17
