Sleep

The past couple of mornings I have awakened around 4:00 a.m. with my brain jumping up and down yelling "Get UP!". No reason for it. No sub-concious memos trying to get through. Brain was up and the rest of the body needed to follow.
This makes for a bit of a dilemna later in the day. I need a nap. Which is great if there is time and space. But a lot of times there is not and my outlook on the world gets a little narrow and perhaps a little paranoid. I just know my family is plotting to keep me awake. Or the dogs, yeah the dogs, they don't want me to sleep....
If only THEY would realize it would be in everybody's best interest.
So I am awake. The paper has been read, dishes from the evening before have been washed (the dishes that were used after the original dishes had been washed - that is another blog in of itself), the house is quiet so no vacuuming. Just awake.
Don't call this afternoon. There will be nap taking going on and if you wake me, I will have to assume you are in on the conspiracy with the dogs.
