at the beginning

I really should say at the end, since it's almost 1:30 am on a work night. But this is that quiet time when often my brain kicks in to hear my own thoughts. Not the dogs running & wrestling & barking, or the parrots screeching, or the husband talking, or the tv noise, or the work scenarios running through my head. It's my time. Quiet time. No one wanting anything from me. I've always loved this time of night. I'm a nocturnal animal...if I could I'd sleep all day and prowl around at night. But I have to co-exist with others in the "real" world, so I sleep at night eventually and am up all day.

I really should go to sleep. Tomorrow I'm getting a citation for excellence in my work. I may have a photo taken with all of the nominees. I guess I'll just have bags under my eyes...ah, the baggage of many years of work, we'll call it. Then I have to take a 4 hr class on entering orders in an electronic medical record. My brain function should be interesting. I'd rather spend 4 hrs just playing on a computer instead of learning to order it around. Again, someone else's idea of the order of things.

Soon I'll be able to set my own time, my own agendas. This is the countdown to those days!

More later...
