This one might be dedicated to how tired I am. I know I’ve been putting a lot of time into creative projects that bring joy into my life, but at the same time going to sleep between 1:00am and 2:00am and waking up between 7:00am and 8:00am is still only a few hours to sleep.
Don’t get me wrong: I’m having fun and everything seems so interesting that it keeps me up late. However, I just don’t want to be so tired that it turns to ash in my mouth. I don’t think it will. This time around I feel real consistent. This time around I feel genuinely on top of some of the projects I’m engaging with because I feel like I’m deciding what to do instead of figuring out how to keep up.
This time I’ve put the horse before the cart, and put a smaller, less consequential horse in front of the other one so they can lead. Like a pony or a Pygmy horse. Maybe just an equine that got put into the dryer for too long and then shrunk a bit.
In other news I called and talked to one of my very best friends Dee last night and it was a really great conversation. It was awesome to hear from him and I’m hopeful that we’ll keep in touch a bit better. We could possibly start collaborating on some projects together here, too, and I would love that.
In the end sleep deprivation is but my enjoyment is more. Since I’m writing about it, though, I will take it seriously and likely take a much-needed nap today.
Love you Dee, Marie, Amelia, mom, dad, sis, Alex (kitty)
