Sleep

I slept for seven straight hours last night!

At least, I believe it was about 12:30 when I fell asleep.  It was 7:30 a minute later when I woke up.  It was wonderful.  I flipped the coffeemaker on en route to the bathroom, pleased that Deb had left it ready to go while I wasn’t looking.

Then it was probably a mistake to lay back down, as the additional three hours was restless, for all it felt like I could keep going and going.  Even with part of it not as good, getting nearly ten hours sleep is amazing.  The big thing is that seven hours, and how absolute it was.

The plan was to get up and go out to finish the shoveling.  I like to have it clear enough to take advantage of the temps that can melt it and the interaction of sun and blacktop.  Looking out, the guy upstairs has shoveled around his truck, and the lady downstairs is out shoveling behind our cars, where I was anticipating having to do.  Wow!  That is almost in her path to go in and out of her customary spot, but still.  She’s parked up near the street as a snow measure.

Fourteen inches and it’s not officially winter yet.  At least when we get a snowy December we generally make up for it in one of the other winter months, but we’ll see.  Sunday looks like snow changing to rain here, which could be pretty messy.  More significantly, lots of wind.  That means way too high probability of losing power, for us.  We have outages way too often when it’s sunny and windy.  Perhaps all the people who are moving to South Carolina have the right idea…
