early to bed and early to rise . . .

i got in my biscuit at 8:30 p.m. last night. i felt a cold coming on and thought i could divert it with some extra zzzzs. well, i feel really rested this morning, and just a little sniffly. so maybe it worked.

i'm up early to read, get some time alone, and simon is just a hoot! he just brought me two full pair of socks (cv's hiking socks, my knee socks) and a glove in his mouth all at the same time. now that's quite a mouthful.

i have that "dread of the day feeling" this morning. where i want to call in sick and escape. physical therapy, then coffee with a friend, then a drive to salem with cv to advocate for nick, then c-group tonight. all really very healthy but somehow today is one of those feeling overwhelmed days. i think its the entire week bearing down on me. i do better with a little window of break ahead of me.
