I find it comforting, if lonesome, to be up at the wee wee hours alone in my house, with the fire going and the internet for a companion. I find myself talking to other night owls from other time zones from Afghanistan to Hawaii.
Just a few minutes of internet convo and then it's back to my lonely nocternal pursuits. Looking up books, watching TV shows. Hanging out with my cat.
I'm sort of in the Medieval pattern of first sleep and second sleep with a break in the middle. I've been doing this for a while now. I go to bed early and then wake up about two in the morning. Or else I wake up really early like at 5 or so and stay up.
Being up by myself give me time to meditate on what the priorities are. Which are to take care of Richard. Help myself so I can help others. Stay in touch with my family and friends. Get this house in shape. Read books. Stay healthy.
If I were in school I guess I would be studying. What I really want to do is to be shopping on eBay. It's the time of year when I like to buy five gold rings! But I'm going to forgoe that pleasure for the good of my pocketbook.
Still tis the season to be festive. I can turn on the colored lights and listen to Holiday music to try and catch the spirit.
