It's Too Early in the Morning

It's too early in the morning to be lying here awake like this. As tired as I've been the last few days, rising late, napping in the afternoon, going to bed early, it would sure be nice to be asleep right now.

I've spent most of the night lying on top of the covers under the welcome moving air of the ceiling fan. My hot flashes come and go with sufficient frequency that I never get cold, and when I get hot, if I'm covered up I break out into a sweat. Maybe that's what woke me up.

It's pitch black outside. On the highway a half-mile away in the distance once in a while you can hear the sound of a car speeding into town. On the street outside, someone just pulled out of their driveway and began their commute to work. Maybe it's the guy who works for EMS, although that puttering car didn't sound like his.

It's too early to be up and writing this. I should be in the bedroom asleep, but here I am instead. I'm going to regret this later today.
