Jumpstart on My Day

Well... I'm up. And have been for almost 3 hours.

The last 24 hours have been a little ridiculous, and I was absolutely convinced that last night after my 12-hr work day, I would pass out like the dead when I crawled between the sheets. I was right. What I didn't count on was dreaming about work -- a dream so disturbing that it woke me out of said dead sleep at 4:30am in a cold sweat.

I couldn't fall back asleep after my dream. So, I got dressed and laced up my running shoes. I did a little over 2 miles through the residential areas of downtown Bellefonte. For about a mile or so I ran along Spring Creek, which was really nice. My time wasn't fantastic -- but it was dark, some of the route wasn't lit that well, and the sidewalks had holes that would swallow a volkswagen. So, I erred on the side of caution. When I finished the run, and stretched in my living room, I was hoping to crawl back into bed. But no. The endorphins kicked in, and I was wide awake. So, I did some work on the yoga mat, then hit the shower. Now I'm on my second cup of coffee, and am making a plan for this day that I've gotten an abnormally early start on.

So... off I go to walk to the garage and pick up my car -- it got inspected yesterday, but I had to work till 11pm, so I couldn't pick it up when they were done with it. But, they should be opening their doors about now, so I'll get that and hit the grocery store before the usual Saturday madness sets in. Off I go...
