Woke up around 4:30am with itchy scratchy eyes from seasonal allergies. Couldn't really fall back asleep after that. Just said "to heck with it" and got up at 5:00am and started the coffee brewing. I may regret my early rise later when I'm trying to stay awake at a dinner party tonight.
So far I walked the dog, had coffee, went to the gym and the grocery store, and now here I sit. Hubby is still in bed, like a sane person on a Saturday.
When I walked the dog around 6:00am it was still pitch black. A dark Spring morning, about 50 degrees with the knowledge that later today it should creep up to 70. I wandered down the street with him and heard soft voices and bottles clinking. Realized a porch light was on and a neighbor must have been wrapping up a Friday night party. About three people sitting on the porch, talking quietly and drinking. I could see the cherry tip of lit cigarettes. They weren't bothering anyone or making any ruckus, but they most certainly had not been to bed yet. I was laughing to myself as we walked by. I remember doing that, it's been a long time, but I know I've done it. Pulled the all-nighter and then slept all the next day. They are going to miss a lovely day today. Sunny and warm with everything in bloom.
I'm going to miss part of it too. I have to go to work today. Bah-humbug. At least I'll walk to work and get some fresh air. Hubby will meet me at 4:00pm and walk me home. We have plans tonight that include corned beef and cabbage, a late St.Patricks Day party. Somehow I'm just not all that bummed about working today. My heart and mind are easy today. Happy Weekend.
