Slunking and sleuthing
outside my door,
his efforts to be silent
are thwarted by his desire to be embraced,
to be given attention,
to be loved by me,
the one who is clearly still awake,
but whose door is closed
(and whose room is off-limits, anyway)…
However, he will not give up faith…

When I shower in the dark of night, with just one small touch light on in the far corner of the bathroom, somehow – just somehow – life feels magical, and as though anything is possible…

Tonight was a very good night.
I have not gotten home as late as 3:30am in a very, very long time.
I shall celebrate with a shower and my Tuesday underwear (because tomorrow is Saturday).
I have no specific plans for the day tomorrow, aside from doing exercise and being generally awesome, and I am delighted.

Some Saturday nights are best spent staying up long past the usual bedtime, pouring over that book you just can’t seem to stop reading.

(And back to that book, now…)
That feeling when you’re ready for bed, but realize that you need another half hour’s worth of steps to reach your daily step goal….
And then, that feeling a half hour later, when you actually turn out the lights to go to sleep, after having kept your commitment to reach your step goal every day, including today.
🙂
Keep at it, y’all. ❤

You know those days when you climb into bed at night, and you’re somehow filed with a real sense of accomplishment for the day… and it even makes you excited about what you can accomplish tomorrow?
Yeah, they haven’t been too common for me lately, but today is one of them, and it feels amazing. 🙂

I feel like some people are just destined to sleep early at night, and some to sleep late at night.
I am one of the latter.
Tonight, as a fifth-day support – for I have had now five days in a row that have ended similarly late, though without previous expectation, and each with a different, outside-of-myself reason for it – for this belief, I spent three-ish hours (more than that, actually) on the phone with an old friend, who had reached out, somewhat out of the blue, in desire to talk for a while, despite the late hour.
Now, here I am, even later than the other nights, finally going to sleep just before three in the morning, even though I was prepping for bed at nine something this evening. 😛
I’m just destined to get to sleep late at night, it seems.

I always end up being awake really late at night, and can never seem to maintain waking early in the mornings. At least, not waking up early regularly and being happy about it. That categorizes me as a night owl (as opposed to all of the daytime owls I see all the time?). People talk about how productive we are in the early mornings, and I know that I can be really productive with an early start. I just can’t maintain it. I can never get myself to go to bed early enough not to be totally exhausted after three days of it. Listen: I know the early bird gets the worm…, but I don’t even eat worms.

Sometimes, life is just exhausting, – especially when doing it well – and we need to relax.
Post-a-day 2018
I was all set to go to bed in the next ten or fifteen minutes, and excited that I was going to bed at the perfect time. But then I had a missed call from my cousin (via my uncle’s phone, since my cousin doesn’t have a regular phone with signal and all), and it was time semi-sensitive, so I called him back. 45 minutes later, I’m right back where I started, minus the excitement. Gotta love family. ;P
