Sweet Sleep

Work this time of year is always a challenge. There's always several deadlines and things that have to be done to gear up for tax season. Even though I try hard not to carry work home with me in my head, sometimes I have no control. If I have a project that is perplexing to me, its just as perplexing after I get home as it was when I was at the office. By the middle of Wednesday afternoon I found myself completely exhausted and unable to think about much of anything at all. I have so many projects going on I can't seem to stay focused on any of them, especially when I'm tired.
So I came home and spent a quiet evening playing with my dog, fixing myself a nice supper, eating and then went to bed early. I feel asleep immediately and I slept until after 4:00 a.m. That's just unheard of. I am usually up every two hours for a run "down the hall". Thankfully Maggie never stirs when she hears me get up. I think she is afraid if she reminds me of her presence she will have to go back to the crate so she's vewy vewy quiet.
Anyway, Wednesday night was uncommon because I slept from 10:30 to 4:00 without interruption. Its amazing how much better I feel for having had that sweet sleep. I got back in abed and cuddled down in the covers and slept until 6:30. I didn't even hear the radio until 6:25 even though it was playing. What a wonderful rest. Maybe today I can tackle some things without feeling so hopeless about it all.

I have taken some cloud pictures the last two days. Its fun, I stand in the same place every day and take some clouds. Then I turn around and take what's behind me. Since I'm facing west first and then turn east, its like two different locations. What a fun project!
