I should be sleeping.
This baby, four weeks old, has been sound asleep beside me since 7:00 pm. It’s now 2:00 am. He’s sleeping nearly through the night these days, but I’m not.
Tonight, sleep doesn’t feel as relaxing and energizing as re-connecting with blogs and even messing around with this one does. In the past month of moving houses, having babies, sending a child to a first day of school, the computer needed to stay closed. Certain things cannot be skimmed. I can’t glance over the blogs I love like I can skim a magazine or dash through a mystery novel. I’m the only one awake right now; my focus is unsplintered as I catch up on reading posts brimming with ideas and humor and passion and intelligence… Although, damn it…I really will be tired tomorrow.
