It is Thursday afternoon. Today is my first day back from Italy, which is 7 hours ahead of Northport. I arise at 0400 (it's 11 AM in IT) and feel pretty energetic. I shoulda enjoyed it more, because it won't last.
I spend two or three hours, or maybe five, catching up on emails, paperwork, etc. Around 1030 or 11 I start to go down to mow the grass, but Brenda requests my help with hanging two of the pictures we had bought for the Living Room. After that I hang a dozen more, give or take a few. as the day progresses, I feel worse and worse. After finishing the picture-hanging, I crank up the mower and cut the grass.
I am spiraling down pretty quickly as I sit down to supper at a little after 3 PM. We like to eat supper early, but this is a NEW RECORD for us. Yay! After supper, I am doomed and about 5 PM I...go to bed of course. Remember 3 PM local time is 10 PM Italian time.
I sleep until Brenda comes to bed about 9 and offers be a small benadryl. I agree. I awake briefly around 0200, and then around 4. The next time I look at the clock it is 0525, and time to get up for Grace men's prayer meeting.
Wow! Twelve hours of sleep! Amazing. Ever done that?
And as I write this...I'm feeling a bit sleepy!
