So it's early

0530...
That's five thirty to those who are playing along at home...
It is what time my eyes popped open this morning.
It is criminal really
I tried to fall back asleep a skill I think after many years of hard training I feel I am usually most successful at... I was once the subject of great envy for my ability to fall asleep... but my super powers wane...
I m afraid caffeinatrix is close at hand
For those who are not familiar with her let me fill you in... not long after x-men came out a friend and I were discussing our super powers being x-men of course and mine was the ability to sleep at a moments notice any time anywhere or to use my powers on others bringing sleepiness to those I encounter which can be good... but with great power comes great responsibility...
my alter ego is the over-caffeinated "day person" the two sides of the coin... Narcalepto and Caffeinatrix it is my secret .....my legend
hahaha long story short-to late!
These things happen at 530 in the morning
I tried desperately to get cozy again, to recreate the cocoon that envelopes you in warmth and fuzzy feelings the one that you are desperate to re-claim once the alarm has gone off... but alas it is the cocoon of necessity and because I had no real reason to be up so gosh darm early I lacked the conviction and drive to fall asleep again.
I tried
I read half a book, I put a movie on-- a trick I learned to keep the dogs from barking at the people coming home late who park on the street and talk loud enough to alert the hyper vigilant ears of the little night watchmen who cuddle up at the end of the bed... with the movie on they think it is tv fall asleep and don't bark when the late comers who think they are whispering come home they don't wake up!
no luck!
So with a load of laundry on and my dishwasher merrily humming I am struck with the urge to do something major...if I sit quietly the feeling will pass... It's ok I have had this before and I am actually still tidying up after it!
So with a fresh pot of Christmas blend sitting and a cup of the precious elixir wafting my way the day hold such promise the promise of a nap? maybe!!! It is a cold day so far... as the skies are already light it is kinda grey out there hence the change to the layout.. I wasn't going to be one of those change the layout to fit the mood people but I have yet to settle on one I really liked... I loved the green one I recently tried but it was not quite right.. might have to make one of my own ... today!
hahahaa not likely... I will probably continue to surf the Internet looking for wonderful things I might make another little hat.. there are 100 pregnant girls at work ( well maybe a few less than that) and I am trying to find a little project that I can get finished to stock pile for when the blessed days arrive! I have found a cute little hat pattern that is relatively easy but I have to find my big sewing needle so I can finish it off... we will see if it works I will try my hand at posting a picture for all to see...
all three of you :)
till then I have a pot of coffee and a bag of fresh books from the library to try out!

  1. Your layout is effectively making me cold in my frigid house right now. Brrr Happy July 2, bring on the soothing sun!! Thank goodness for the delicious coffee. I changed my mind at 5:30 about getting up today, then woke up at 5:45 and I'm like no, still not wanting this... but I did manage to get back to sleep once I'd made the executive decision not to get up! A nap sounds lovely today, hope that works out for you.
