A note on 3:45am
For the last several days i've been waking up even earlier than usual. Am still getting 6 hours of rest, so i know part of the problem is that i'm going to bed too early--except that i keep hitting a wall and just crashing. So today i'll attempt a nap after lunch and hopefully be able to push to a later bedtime at night. In the meanwhile, it's not quite 5am and i've got a load of laundry in process and some brown rice in the small slow cooker. The neighborhood is so very quiet; not even any cars on the nearby main thoroughfare.
