Up insanely early this morning. (I�ve been up for about an hour; take a look at when this was posted, keeping in mind that most nights I don�t hit the hay until 1 � 1:30 AM.) Even with my beloved sleep mask, there was far too much light in the bedroom to stay asleep. And now you know why summer does a number on me every year.
However, there are a few mitigating circumstances: 1) I got my very first shout-out from a complete and utter stranger! Many thanks to Anne � go say hi, right now. I�ll wait for you; 2) one of the only useful things I picked up in my woeful college career was the ability to powernap. It�s not a replacement for a good night�s sleep, but it helps all the same; and 3) Yorkshire Gold tea. Each bag is meant to make two cups, or, in my case, one large cup that I could use for spackle in a pinch.
